disappears
Fades from view
Disappears is the third-person singular of disappear—to vanish from sight or cease to exist.
Something disappears when it can no longer be seen or found: The sun disappears behind the clouds, My keys keep disappearing.
People disappear when they go missing, sometimes ominously: Journalists who criticize the regime tend to disappear.
