According to Merriam-Webster, a greeting is a salutation upon meeting someone, or an expression of good wishes. More simply, to greet someone is to say “hello” or to extend a polite word of welcome. Each country or culture has its own way of greeting others, and these greetings are a part of every conversation. More @Wikipedia
