the ghost that never had a body, just unfinished business and excellent timing
means A ghost or apparition; by extension, anything that appears real but isn't actually there.
from From the Greek 'phantasma,' meaning an apparition or image, built on 'phainein,' 'to show' or 'bring to light' — the same root that gives us 'fantasy' and 'phenomenon.' It traveled through Latin 'phantasma' and Old French 'fantosme' before settling into English. Fittingly, the word for things that aren't there comes from a root about showing and appearing.
