The answer

LEAVE

What leave means

To go away from a place or person, or to depart permanently or temporarily from a location where one has been.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *læfan*, meaning "to let remain" or "to depart," which comes from Proto-Germanic *laibanan*. The sense shifted over time: "to let stay" evolved into "to go away from," and later "permission to be absent." The noun sense (as in "on leave") developed from the verb's meaning of being allowed to depart.
