American Heritage
Cultural Dictionary
Gesundheit [(guh-zoont-heyt)]German for “good health.” Like the English phrase “Bless you,” it is conventionally said to someone who has just sneezed. This reflects the superstition that a sneeze can cause the soul to fly out of the body; saying the phrase prevents this from happening.
