Pouf!
(une) disparition = disappearance
E.g. une espèce en voie de disparition = an endangered species
It is also the title of a 1969 novel by Georges Perec. On the surface, it's a detective story that received mixed reviews, but that is far from being the interesting point of the book, that was entirely written without ever using the letter 'e'. Given that it is the most frequent vowel in the French language, and that most common words like and ('et'), the ('le') all contain the banned letter, it is an undisputable tour de force.
