Definition
失陪 is a polite formula used when you need to leave before others do — you're the one departing. It literally means 'lose the company' but functions as a courteous apology to your host or companions. You'd say it when excusing yourself from a dinner, meeting, or conversation, especially in formal or respectful settings.
f.e.
(polite formula) excuse me for leavingsorry I have to go now
