salud

Blessing after sneezing

Salud is a Spanish toast meaning "health," used when raising glasses to drink: Salud!

English speakers borrow it as an alternative to "cheers." It also serves as the Spanish equivalent of "bless you" after a sneeze.

The word appears in the fuller toast salud, amor, y dinero—health, love, and money.
