  1. An expression of respect and good will when addressing someone, typically someone about to go on a journey or a daring endeavor.

    A Christian substitute to the otherwise sacrilegious "good luck", which implies that anything can be random and out of the hands of God. Used to express concern and prayer for someone.  


  2. It is an old English farewell meaning the wind at your back so you will have no delay in your travels.

  3. just a wish for a proper journey
