GenZ Uses the Word 'Ghost' Every Day, But Doesn't Understand What It Really Means

"Ghost" has become a phenomenon that is increasingly used by young people in love affairs, but not everyone clearly understands the meaning of this word.

In English, the word "Ghost" originally means ghost or soul.

However, the figurative meaning of this word is said to originate from "Ghosting" - a term that refers to the sudden end of all communication and contact (or cutting off contact) with a person without explanation, or "disappearing like a ghost".

The word “Ghost” has only become popular in the last few years, with the advent of a slew of online dating apps, where switching on and off has become easier than ever.

Nowadays, young people use the word "Ghost" to refer to a person who suddenly stops contacting, stops interacting or disappears from a relationship without giving any explanation or notice. While the other person cannot find the cause and falls into a state of confusion, disappointment and hurt.
