teleported

Moved without traveling

Teleported is the past tense of teleport—to transport instantaneously from one location to another without traversing the space between.

The concept comes from science fiction, where characters or objects vanish and reappear elsewhere: She teleported to the space station.

In video games, teleporting is a common movement mechanic.

Figuratively, teleported describes any impossibly fast arrival: How did you get here so fast—did you teleport?
