dematerialises
Fades from existence
Dematerialises is the British spelling of dematerializes.
To dematerialise is to lose physical form or vanish from material existence.
In science fiction, characters dematerialise when transported or phased out of normal space: The ghost dematerialised before their eyes.
The word also applies to assets or records that become digital rather than physical: Stock certificates have largely dematerialised.
