good evening

Etymology
An ellipsis for an expression such as "I wish you a good evening.".

Usage notes
Good evening is generally considered quite formal, such as by a television news anchor or at the beginning of an address to an audience. An exception is if it is said with exaggeration and with a smile, such as in "Good evening ladies! You are all looking lovely as usual."
