act as ghostwriter of (a work)

his memoirs were smoothly ghosted by a journalist

glide smoothly and effortlessly

they ghosted up the river

end a personal relationship with (someone) by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication

I didn't want to ghost her, so we ended up having ‘the talk’ and it was horrible

being ghosted is one of the toughest ways to be dumped

people who ghost are primarily focused on avoiding their own emotional discomfort
