To go away, especially with reference to permanent visits. Pezzoni v. Pezzoni, 38 Cal.App. 209, 175 P. 801, 802. To withdraw from. Pomeroy v.

In Maritime Law
To leave a port; to be out of a port. To depart imports more than to sail, or set sail. A warranty in a policy that a vessel shall depart on or before a particular day is a warranty not only that she shall sail, but that she shall be out of the port on or before that day. 3 Maule & S. 461; 3 Kent Comm. 307, note. "To depart" does not mean merely to break ground, but fairly to set forward upon the voyage. Moir v. Assur. Co., 6 Taunt. 241; Young v. The Orpheus, 119 Mass. 185; The Helen Brown (D.C.) 28 F. 111.
In Pleading
To forsake or abandon the ground assumed in a former pleading, and assume a new one. See Departure.
