wassail
- c.1140, from O.N. ves heill "be healthy," from ves, imperative of vera "to be" + heill "healthy." A similar formation appears in O.E. wes hal, but it is not recorded as a drinking salutation. Sense extended M.E. to "liquor in which healths were drunk," especially spiced ale used in Christmas Eve celebrations. Meaning "a carousal, revelling" first attested 1602.
