Crossword Genius

Vehicle I discarded disappeared (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vanished

'disappeared' is the definition.
(vanishing is a kind of disappearing)

'vehicle i discarded' is the wordplay.
'vehicle' becomes 'van' (van is a kind of vehicle).
'discarded' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this before).
'van'+'i'+'shed'='VANISHED'

(Other definitions for vanished that I've seen before include "disappeared from view" , "gone" , "disappeared from sight" , "Disappeared without trace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
