Why this word is great
CONGÉ — [Verb] To take formal leave, often marked by a ceremonial bow or curtsey. From the French congé ("leave, dismissal"), itself from the Latin commeātus ("leave of absence, furlough"). Unlike “depart,” a neutral stepping away, or “dismiss,” an authoritative sending-off, to congé is to enact the leave-taking as a deliberate, ritualized rite. It is the courtier’s measured retreat from the throne, the actor’s deep bow to a darkened house, the ensign’s somber dip from the ship’s rail—a choreographed grammar for an ending, dignifying the inherent awkwardness of a final parting.
