disappear

To disappear means to become invisible or cease to exist in a particular place. Imagine something or someone just vanishing into thin air!

When we use the word "disappear", it's usually when we talk about things that are lost, gone, or can't be found anymore. For example, you might say "I lent my favorite book to my friend and now it's disappeared!" This means the book is no longer with you and you have no idea where it went. Another common way to use this word is when something changes suddenly, like a person who used to live in your neighborhood, but now their house is empty and they've moved away - their family has disappeared from the area. It's often used with things that are tangible or physical, so you can picture what's happening, but it can also be used for abstract ideas or people, where the disappearance might not be as clear-cut.
