begone
An old-fashioned command telling someone to go away immediately.
Begone is an old-fashioned but powerful command meaning “go away” or “leave immediately.” When you tell something to begone, you're not asking politely: you're ordering it to disappear right now.
You'll encounter this word most often in fantasy stories, fairy tales, and older literature. A wizard might shout “Begone, foul creature!” at a monster. A king might command an unwelcome visitor, “Begone from my castle!” The word carries drama and authority, like slamming a door instead of gently closing it.
In everyday conversation, people rarely say begone seriously anymore, but you might hear it used playfully. A brother annoyed by his sister might wave his hand dramatically and declare, “Begone, pest!” He's being theatrical, borrowing the word's old-fashioned power for comic effect.
