Did you know that the word goodbye actually has a divine origin?
Yes, you heard it right. The word “goodbye” is actually a shortened version of “God be with you”.
In the olden times, people would say “God be with you” to bless someone before parting ways.
But as time went by, the phrase got shortened to the more familiar “goodbye”.
And now, it’s a common way of saying farewell to someone.
So, the next time you say goodbye, remember that you’re actually wishing someone to be with God.
Goodbye!
