It’s from the German word spiel, meaning “play.”
Also from Yiddish shpil, both from Middle High German spil, from Old High German.
It means, “A lengthy or extravagant speech or argument usually intended to persuade.”

It’s of German origin (..’spiel,’ to play..) In today’s usage it usually refers to a rather long, rehearsed or oft repeated oral delivery of some sort, like a speech.
