覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 disappear「消える」に、三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形です。主語が the sun、the message、the cat のような単数のときに使い、語尾は /z/ と発音します。dis-「離れて・反対に」＋ appear「現れる」と分け、「現れていたものが見えなくなる」と捉え、appears と対で覚えます。
Break the base verb disappear into dis- and appear: if something appears, it becomes visible; if it disappears, it becomes no longer visible. Disappears adds the third-person singular present ending -s and is used with one subject, as in “The sun disappears” or “The message disappears.” The final -s is pronounced /z/. Pair appears and disappears as opposites, then picture typical movements such as the sun going behind clouds, a cat going under a table, or a message vanishing from a screen.
例文
The sun disappears behind the clouds.
太陽が雲の後ろに消えます。
The message disappears after a few seconds.
そのメッセージは数秒後に消えます。
The cat disappears under the table.
その猫はテーブルの下に消えます。

disappears の語源・成り立ち Etymology
disappears は disappear の三人称形で、dis-「反対に・離れて」+ appear「現れる」から成ります。appear はラテン語 apparere「姿を見せる」に由来するので、disappear は文字どおり「現れなくなる」、つまり「消える」です。関連語は appearance, apparent です。
Disappears is the third-person singular present form of disappear, created by adding -s. Disappear was formed from the negative or reversing prefix dis- and appear. Appear entered English through Old French from Latin apparere, “to come into sight” or “be visible,” a formation related to ad-, “toward,” and parere, “to be visible or appear.” Disappear therefore developed the transparent sense of ceasing to appear or be seen.
