The act or condition of departing or saying goodbye, or the process of granting leave or permission to go.
Derived from congé plus the suffix -ion; this rare word combines the concept of departure with the formal suffix denoting a state or action.
This word is so rare it barely appears in modern English, but it represents a beautiful linguistic fossil—a formal 15th-century way to describe what we now simply call 'goodbye.'
