to bid farewell
1. (a) The int. used substantively as a name for itself, and hence for any equivalent, as in to say farewell to. With this has now coalesced the originally distinct use in to bid farewell, where farewell represents historically the infinitive, not as elsewhere the imperative, of the verbal phrase. (b) An utterance of the word ‘farewell’; any expression or act equivalent to this; a parting salutation, formal leave-taking, adieu.
ΘΠ
the world > action or operation > behaviour > good behaviour > courtesy > courteous act or expression > [noun] > parting salutation
