Etymology

The term 'cheers' originated in the 13th century from the Old French word 'chiere', meaning 'face' or 'expression'. Over time, it evolved to mean 'mood' or 'disposition'. In the 18th century, the term was used in toasting or expressing good wishes, especially when drinking. It gained popularity in British English as a casual way to say thank you or goodbye.
