From what four word expression does the word goodbye derive?
-
good be well you
-
go be well you
-
god be with you
-
god be with yours
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The word 'goodbye' derives from the phrase 'God be with you' - a contraction that evolved through Middle English 'God be with ye'. This was a common farewell blessing that gradually shortened to its modern form. The other options like 'good be well you' or 'go be well you' are incorrect etymologies that don't match the historical linguistic evolution of the word.
