apparitionn.

/apəˈrɪʃən/

Etymology: < French apparition (15th cent. in Littré), < Latin appāritiōn-em , noun of action < appārēre to appear v.: see -tion suffix. The senses are those of late Latin and French. Classical Latin had only the sense ‘attendance, service, servants,’ < a special sense of appārēre ‘to appear at a summons, wait upon, attend’: see apparitor n., aparaunt n. (Etymologically, exactly = appearance n., and having a parallel development of senses. But now almost restricted in common use to sense 9, and when used in other senses, having generally from this association some idea of startling or unexpected appearance.)

1. The action of appearing or becoming visible.

a. The supernatural appearance of invisible beings, etc.
