Get K'ritut, letter of divorce, he divorced his wife

A document of divorce that ends the bond of marriage. By analogy: an absolute termination of a connection between people.

("When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he found in her an indecency, he writes her a bill of divorcement, gives it into her hand, and sends her out of his house" - Deuteronomy 24:1, and likewise: "An incident with a certain woman who came to Rabbi Meir's study, said to him: Rabbi, one of you betrothed me through intercourse. Rabbi Meir stood up and wrote her a Get K'ritut" - Sanhedrin 31a, and also: "If so, give her a Get!... I will give her a Get? But what will become of me?..." - Shalom Aleichem / Etzah, 21, and also: "Rather, it is the courtyard that preceded and gave him a Get Piturin while the Rabbi hesitated between life and death" - H. Be'er / El Makoam Sheharuach Holech, 427))
