the.com/visit
The art of being somewhere just long enough to leave before you become furniture.
means To go see a person or place for a while, then leave.
from From Latin visitare, 'to go see, to view repeatedly,' itself built from visere, 'to look at, to survey,' which in turn comes from videre, 'to see.' So a visit is literally an act of repeated seeing — the word carries, buried in its root, the idea of checking in on someone rather than moving in with them.
