Anybody know what this word means? Where it came from? I say it all the time when people sneeze. It is probably spelled wrong.

"God bless you!" in German is actually "Gotte segne Sie!".

"Gesundheit" in German means "health". When said to acknowledge another's sneezing, it's meaning is taken as a wish for "good health". :smile:
