Etymology
The origin of the phrase 'go away' can be traced back to Old English, where 'go' meant 'to walk or proceed'. Over time, the addition of 'away' emphasized the notion of leaving a particular place. The expression has since evolved to encompass both physical departure and dismissal in a figurative sense.
