What is Godspeed?
an expression of one's good wishes for a person's success and safety
[from God spede may God prosper (you)]

[From Middle English God spede (you), may God prosper (you) : God, god; see god + spede, third person sing. present subjunctive of speden, to prosper (from Old English spdan, from spd, success; see speed)

Don't worry- I'm not that smart. I had to look it up!
