adieuint.n.adv.

Brit. /əˈdjuː/, /əˈdʒuː/, /əˈdjʊ/, /əˈdjəː/, U.S. /əˈd(j)u/, /əˈdjʊ/
Inflections: Plural adieux, adieus.
Forms: Middle English adieue, Middle English adieux, Middle English adyeu, Middle English–1600s adew, Middle English–1600s adewe, Middle English–1600s adiew, Middle English–1600s adiewe, Middle English– adieu, 1500s adve, 1500s–1800s adue, 1800s– adoo (regional and nonstandard); Scottish pre-1700 addew, pre-1700 adeou, pre-1700 adew, pre-1700 adewe, pre-1700 adiew, pre-1700 adoo, pre-1700 adow, pre-1700 adue, pre-1700 1700s– adieu; N.E.D. (1884) also records a form late Middle English adue.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French a dieu.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman a Deu and Middle French a dieu, adieu, expression of farewell (12th cent. in Old French as adeu ; in Middle French also as noun (1458)), expression of regret at the loss of something (a1402; French adieu ) < a to (see a- prefix5) + Dieu God (see deus int.), originally short for a longer phrase, e.g. Old French va a deu go with God, literally ‘go to God’ (compare to go adieu at sense C.), a deu soiez (and more fully a deu soiez vos comandez , literally ‘be commended to God’), a diu remain , literally ‘remain with God’ (all 12th cent.). Compare Old Occitan a deu a dieu (second half of the 12th cent., also in a deu siatz and a deu vos coman , literally ‘I commend you to God’; c1270 as noun), Catalan adéu (15th cent. in a Déu-siats , now adéu-siau ; compare earlier comanar a Déu to commend to God, bid farewell (second half of the 13th cent.)), Spanish adios (see adios n.), Portuguese adeus (16th cent.), Italian addio (see addio int.); also ( < a variant of the Middle French expression) Middle Low German adē , Middle High German adē (German Ade , now regional and literary). Compare farewell int. and farewell n.With to say adieu at sense A. 1b compare Middle French, French dire adieu (c1340). In the plural form adieux after the French plural form. N.E.D. (1884) gives only the pronunciation (ădiū·) /əˈdjuː/.
Now chiefly literary.
A. int.
1.
a. Used as an expression of farewell: ‘goodbye’.In earlier use usually emphasizing fondness, kind wishes, or sorrow at parting. In later use sometimes regarded as a more final expression of parting, contrasted with au revoir.
