Wikipedia definition
2. Spirit away​The expression to "spirit away" means to remove without anyone's noticing. Kamikakushi (神隠し, lit. "hidden by gods") means "spirited away". Kamikakushi, in Japanese folklore, is used to refer to the mysterious disappearance of a person that happens when an angered god takes a person away. The word Onikakushi, "hidden by demons", is used for the same purpose, just that instead of an angered god, it's a demon who takes the person away.
