Glossary Entry: Despawn
Quick Definition
When something in a game despawns, it is removed from the game.
For example, many games have your character drop whatever they are carrying when they are defeated. You are then given a short period of time to return to the place where your character died and gather your stuff before the dropped items permanently disappear (ie, despawn).
