ghostings

Note
A plural that counts episodes rather than naming a practice. The singular works both ways: ghosting as a habit, or a ghosting as one occasion. Only the countable use takes the -s, as in a string of ghostings. The same plural also serves the technical senses, from blurred television pictures to phantom keypresses on a keyboard. Of all these, only the relationship sense is colloquial.
