What does Ghost mean?
/ɡoʊst/1 syllable

Ghost comes from the Old English "gast," meaning "spirit" or "soul," and refers to the apparition of a deceased person believed to appear to the living.

Ghost suits a pet who moves quietly and turns up out of nowhere, especially one with a pale or white coat that seems to glow in low light.
