formal goodbye
Ceremonial send-off words
A formal goodbye is a parting expression or ritual that observes social conventions—handshakes, expressions of gratitude, wishes for safe travel.
Unlike casual farewells (See ya! , Later! ), formal goodbyes suit professional settings, ceremonies, or moments of gravity: The ambassador extended a formal goodbye to the departing delegation.
The phrase often implies deliberate closure rather than a quick exit.
