Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "SEHR" (as in "set") + the English word "ghosting" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

To ghost someone: cutting off all contact without warning or explanation, leaving messages unread and simply vanishing from their life. The English word was adopted directly into Spanish and is now universally understood as the coward's exit from any kind of relationship or connection.

Examples

He ghosted her after a whole week of texting all day long.

Ghosting someone is disrespectful no matter what your reason is.

Word family

A wealthy person who hides their money and lives below their means, the discreet millionaire you'd never guess is loaded. In Colombia, a caleto is rich but deliberately invisible about it, preferring stealth wealth to flashy display.
