farewell
Good-by is the homely and hearty, farewell the formal English word at parting. Adieu, from the French, is still more ceremonious than farewell; congé, also from the French, is commonly contemptuous or supercilious, and equivalent to dismissal. Valediction is a learned word never in popular use. A valedictory is a public farewell to a company or assembly.
Synonyms:
adieu, congé, good-by, leave-taking, parting salutation, valediction, valedictoryPreposition:
I bade farewell to my comrades, or (without preposition) I bade my comrades farewell; I took a sad farewell of my friends.

How to use «Farewell» in context?
What feelings come to mind when you say goodbye to someone? Nostalgia, perhaps, or wistfulness. Maybe a sense of satisfaction that you’ve managed to remain close despite time and distance. Or maybe a touch of regret. That everything that was shared between you has come to an end.
There’s no right or wrong way to say goodbye, and in some cases, saying goodbye can be a difficult and painful process. But whatever the feelings underlying goodbye, they’re all absolutely valid.
