God speed
Blessing for departures
God speed, also written as one word, is an expression wishing someone success and safety on a journey or endeavor.
It comes from "God speed you," meaning may God help you prosper.
The phrase sounds formal or old-fashioned, often used at moments of departure or when someone undertakes something difficult: God speed, and safe travels.
