vanishes
Leaves no trace
Vanishes is the third-person singular of vanish, meaning to disappear suddenly or completely.
Something that vanishes is there one moment and gone the next: The magician's assistant vanishes in a puff of smoke.
The word often carries a sense of mystery or inexplicability: The ship vanished without a trace.
Things can also vanish gradually until nothing remains: Her smile vanished when she heard the news.
