disapparated

Popped out instantly

Disapparated is the past tense of disapparate, a verb invented by J.K.

Rowling for the Harry Potter series describing a form of magical teleportation.

When a witch or wizard disapparates, they vanish from one location and instantly reappear at another.

The word plays on the existing word apparate (to appear magically), with the prefix dis- indicating the opposite action—the vanishing rather than the arriving.

With a loud crack, she disapparated from the Ministry.
