saltar, verb
to appear

We’ve already seen saltar as the basic word for to jump or to leap:

saltar de alegría
to jump for joy

When followed by a, saltar also has the meaning of something or someone appearing somewhere. For example:

They’re going to forget their defeats as soon as they see us come on to the pitch.

Two common phrases with this meaning are saltar a la luz, to come to light, and saltar a la vista, to be patently obvious:

El escándalo saltó a la luz en diciembre del año pasado.
The scandal came to light last December.

Los peligros de esta propuesta saltan a la vista.
