a valley with better PR — every goodbye needs a poetic word, this one's ancient.
means a valley, or an old-fashioned farewell meaning literally to fare well.
from latin vale, the imperative of valere, to be strong or healthy — romans said it as goodbye the way we say take care, and it survives in vale as valley from the unrelated old english term for a low stretch of land between hills.
