  • To vanish.

  • To turn an enemy (or "enemy", since many hadn't done a damn thing) into an unperson. A popular pastime invented by dictators in Argentina and Chile, back in the 70's. Life imitates art, though I doubt Pinochet or Videla had read much Orwell.

  • (definition) by Webster 1913 (print) Tue Dec 21 1999 at 23:06:06

    Dis`ap*pear" (?), v. i. [imp. & p. p. Disappeared (?); p. pr. & vb. n. Disappearing.]
