“without further ado”

i · The common misuse One wrong form
ii · What it meansTwo lines, no filler

'Ado' = fuss, bother (as in Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing'). 'Adieu' is French for 'goodbye' — a different word entirely.

iii · Memory hookKeep this one

Ado = fuss. Adieu = goodbye. Introductions end ado, not adieus.
