visit
Go see someone
To visit is to go somewhere temporarily—to see a person, place, or thing and then leave.
You visit friends, visit a doctor, visit a museum.
The noun is the instance: a brief visit, a hospital visit.
In American English, to visit with someone is to chat or spend time together: We visited with the neighbors for an hour.
Figuratively, disasters or misfortunes visit people: A plague visited the village.
