Etymology
The term 'sendoff' originates from the combination of 'send' and 'off.' The word 'send' can be traced back to Old English 'sendan,' which means to cause to go or to dispatch. The 'off' part suggests a departure. The first recorded use of the term 'sendoff' as a noun to describe a farewell gathering appeared in the early 20th century. Since then, the term has become widely used in English to describe events that mark someone's departure from a place or a group. It reflects the human inclination to celebrate milestones and transitions in life, highlighting the bond between those who are leaving and those who are remaining.
