adioses
Waves while leaving
Adioses is the plural of adios, a Spanish borrowing used as a casual farewell.
While goodbye works for any number of partings, adioses appears when counting or emphasizing multiple farewells: After all the hugs and adioses, we finally got on the road.
The word retains a slightly playful or theatrical quality in English.
