Word origin
The word 'toast' originated from the Latin word 'tostare', which means 'to parch or roast'. The practice of toasting bread dates back to ancient times when people would use heat to preserve bread and make it more palatable. The modern usage of 'toast' to mean a celebratory gesture with drinks can be traced back to the 17th century in England.
