"Goodbye" exists because of 15th century chatspeak. It's a highly abbreviated version of "God be with ye"
Oh wow!
I always assumed it was connected to the word "by" as used in "by and by", so that it would basically mean "have a good afterwards".
Cool stuff. Bob Dylan makes more sense to me now:
And goodbye is too good a word babe
So I'll just say fare thee wellI ain't sayin you did me unkind,
You could've done better, but I don't mind.
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's alright.
Adiós
Adieu
Adeus
Auf Wiedersehen
Ah dave chappelle.
Sad that the worlds humour was faster living than himself.
