Bandera de México

/en-kue-VAR-se/

To disappear from social circulation, go into hiding, or hole up somewhere private after a conflict or rough period. In Mexico, when you 'encuevás,' you retreat to your cave — not answering calls, not going out, not engaging with the world until you're ready.

Example

"Since the fight with his ex he's gone underground — nobody sees him."

"I'm going to disappear this weekend, I need to rest."
