An Italian toast or a song sung while toasting; a drinking song or ceremonial salute.
From Italian brindisi, possibly from German Bring dir's! (drink it!). Adopted into English from Italian culture.
The word 'brindisi' itself might come from German mercenaries who served in Italy and whose drinking toasts became integrated into Italian culture—a linguistic collision of cultures.
