It agrees one of versions, on a bottom of a wine glass it was accepted to throw a bread chunk, and already on it to pour drink. The glass during pronunciation of toasts went around, from it all in turn drank one drink and when the glass came back to the owner, he drank the rest of drink and ate the fried bread - a toast.
Others look for origin of a word in the history of Karl the Second times. It happened so that one of court ladies connected by tender feelings with the king took a bath. During the first lunch at court one resourceful gentleman said a toast in honor of this lady, but not with wine, and with that water in which the favourite bathed. The idea was supported, the cup went around, and grandees with enthusiasm swallowed of the "improved" water. But the last from gentlemen rejected a cup, having said: drink does not interest him, he with pleasure would try "toast". Since then the piece of bread floating in wine symbolizes the lady in honor of whom the toast is said, and figuratively - a toast.
