wraith definition
A once living person, who is made undead without passing through death. A wraith is the only form of undead not made so through animation (the process of giving lifelike qualities to the recently dead). They are ringwraiths, neither living nor dead..... Wraith. A woman with a thin, tight body and (usually) blonde hair who looks young and attractive from behind, but the fact that she is a wrinkly, fifty year old smoker becomes painfully apparent when she is viewed from the front.
