ave
Caesar's formal greeting
Ave is a salutation meaning "hail" or "greetings," borrowed from Latin.
It appears most often in religious contexts—Ave Maria (Hail Mary)—or in the classical phrase ave atque vale (hail and farewell).
Outside formal or literary use, ave is rare in modern English.
Ave is also a common abbreviation for avenue in street addresses.
