公元12世纪中叶,源自古诺尔斯语 ves heill “健康”,是一种问候语,由 ves, 的祈使形式和 vesa “是”(参见 was)组成,再加上 heill “健康”,源自原始日耳曼语 *haila-(参见 health)。在英格兰的丹麦人中出现了将其用作饮酒口号的情况,并传播给了当地居民。
类似的构词方式出现在古英语 wes þu hal 中,但没有记录为一种饮酒问候语。意义在公元1300年左右扩展为“饮用祝酒的酒”,尤其是在圣诞前夜庆祝活动中使用的调味麦酒。意思“狂欢,狂欢作乐”首次见于公元1600年左右。Wassailing “圣诞节期间挨家挨户唱颂歌”的习俗记录始于1742年。
