What is goodbye in middle English?

There wasn't a single, direct equivalent of "goodbye" in Middle English. The most common ways to say farewell during that period were:

* "Fare wel": This was the most common phrase, meaning "go well."

* "God be with you": This was another popular expression, similar to the modern "God bless you."

* "Have good day": A more informal phrase, roughly equivalent to "have a good day" in modern English.

* "God keep you": This was a more formal way to express a wish for someone's safety.

It's important to note that Middle English was a diverse language with regional variations, so there may have been other ways to say goodbye depending on the time period and location.
