A word that means “Goodbye to a year”
My friends called me asking if there's a word to say "goodbye to a year", like lets say this:
"Today, we're saying to 2018"
Is there a single word, a verb that doesn't require the use of
"Saying x to y"
Like the actual verb of leaving the year, not just "saying farewell"
I think I remember such that such word exists in french but my memory is rusty therefore I can't quite remember the actual word, I want it in English though

@HotLicks That's awesome little video :) but I didn't find what I'm looking for, I guess the word doesn't exist in English so I just told my friends to either say goodbye or farewell :)

You can use farewell as a verb:
Northbridge is the place to be when farewelling 2018.
https://www.visitperth.com.au/events/new-years-eve-in-the-city
Many of the region’s farming families will be looking forward to farewelling 2018 after a tough year battling the drought and unpredictable weather.
https://www.theherald.com.au/story/5826399/hold-on-for-deer-life-santas-on-his-way/?cs=7597
New Year’s Eve preparations are under way across the country as thousands of people scope the best vantage points to watch the fireworks farewelling 2018 on Monday night.

Christmas trading hours are up! Let's farewell 2018 the right way. Get away from the crowds and hideout with us 😋

Given the distribution of examples, it seems like this is only used in Australia. However it would be understood anywhere as long as you don’t use the imperative.
