Departure

Departure refers to the act of leaving or going away from a particular place or situation. It signifies the moment when an individual, group, or vehicle exits from a location, often marking a transition to a new destination. The term is commonly used in various contexts, including travel, aviation, and personal situations, where it highlights the cessation of presence in one area and the initiation of movement towards another. In transportation, "departure" can also specify scheduled times when vehicles such as trains, airplanes, or buses leave their starting points. Additionally, the term can be applied metaphorically to describe leaving a situation or phase in life, such as a job or relationship, indicating a significant change or new beginning.
