Avreisende

Avreisende is a Norwegian word that translates to "departing" or "leaving" in English. It is commonly used in contexts related to travel and transportation, such as at airports, train stations, or bus terminals. The term refers to individuals or groups who are in the process of departing from a location or commencing a journey.

In practical terms, "avreisende" designates the area or gate from which passengers will depart. Signs at transportation hubs often use this term to guide travelers to their designated departure points. For example, "Avreisende" might be displayed above the entrance to a concourse where flights or trains are boarding.

The word is derived from the verb "å reise," meaning "to travel" or "to go." The prefix "av-" signifies removal or departure. Therefore, "avreisende" literally means "traveling away" or "departing." It is a gender-neutral term and can refer to any person or entity that is leaving. The corresponding term for arriving passengers is "ankomende."
