Dream / Don't Google the Etymology of Goodbye

A YouTube thumbnail of John Green with Homestuck furries in the corner, it says "Etymology of "Goodbye in Homestuck Yiff Fanfiction" by Merriam-Webster Dictionary
what
Origin of "Goodbye": John Green, 2010: contraction of "God be with you!" with "good" substituted on the pattern of phrases such as "good morning"
what

I found out that the word "goodbye" was invented by John Green in 2010 while writing Homestuck yiff fanfiction. In the dream, I was confused, because I could have sworn I remembered people using that word before 2010.

"Goodbye" still originated from a contraction of "God be with ye" in the dream, so at least we know that this was wholesome Christian Homestuck yiff fanfiction, I guess?
