From viszonthallás (“hearing again/back”) + -ra (“on, onto”, here “for”; sublative case suffix), from the verb viszonthall (“to hear again, hear back”) + -ás (noun-forming suffix), from viszont- (“mutually; again”) + hall (“to hear”).
Coined in analogy with viszontlátásra. Literally, it could be translated as “till we hear each other again” or (more loosely) as “hear you later”. For a similar formation, compare Icelandic heyrumst or German auf Wiederhören
viszonthallásra
