ghosting

Once you google "ghosting" + a Czech word related to relationships, like "vztah", it is clear that all the articles that come up just use the English word. Some use the root "ghost" + prepositions or endings to create a grammatical Czech verb, such as "vyghostovat" (see Radio Wave). Possible translations include "vypařit se" / "zmizet" / "dělat mrtvého brouka", but these are all used in other situations, too, not just in romantic relationships, so they are not as accurate as ghosting.
Definition from Czech Radio online:
Nejsnáz tuhle metodu ukončení partnerského vztahu můžeme popsat jako moment, kdy jedna strana přestane komunikovat a zmizí jako duch. Druhý si z toho má odvodit, že je konec.
