whited out
Made invisible again
Whited out describes something erased or covered with white correction fluid: I whited out the typos before photocopying.
It also describes vision overwhelmed by brightness or snow glare, creating dangerous disorientation: The pilot whited out in the blizzard.
A person who whites out loses consciousness briefly, typically from sudden blood pressure changes or alcohol.
