apparate
Magically relocate instantly
To apparate is to materialize suddenly, typically by teleportation or magic.
The word comes from the Harry Potter series, where wizards apparate from one location to another instantaneously: She apparated directly into the kitchen.
Outside fantasy contexts, it describes any sudden or seemingly magical appearance: He apparated at my desk right when I was about to leave.
