Did you know you’re saying a little prayer every time you say “goodbye”?
The word “Goodbye” is a contraction of the late 16th-century English phrase “God be with ye” (or “God be with you”).
Over time it shortened to “God b’w’ye” - “Goodbye.”
So every time you say it, you’re literally blessing the other person.
In Spanish & Portuguese: Adiós (Spanish) and Adeus (Portuguese) both come directly from “a Dios” / “a Deus” = “to God” or “go with God.”
You’re commending the person to God’s care.
French: Adieu comes from “à Dieu” = “to God.”
Same idea — you’re sending them off into God’s hands.
Italian: Addio is also from “a Dio” (“to God”).
You are literally blessing someone every time you say it!
