devoirs
Polite formal greetings
Devoirs are duties or acts of respect, typically formal expressions of courtesy or homage.
The word is borrowed from French and appears mainly in the phrase pay one's devoirs, meaning to present oneself respectfully or make a formal visit: He paid his devoirs to the duchess before departing.
The term sounds old-fashioned and literary in modern English.
