valediction
意味: A formal farewell or the act of saying goodbye, especially in a ceremonial or emotionally significant context.
Valediction is a literary and formal word, more commonly encountered in written English than in speech. It appears in obituaries, retirement tributes, graduation ceremonies, and literary criticism. John Donne's poem 'A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning' is perhaps the most famous use. The related adjective 'valedictory' is more widely used, particularly in the phrase 'valedictory address.'
