Proto-Celtic

Etymology

From *ad- (“law, custom”) followed by an obscure second element.

  • Pedersen thinks the second element -ast- is an incarnation of the common -st- noun formant, but -st- suffixes are generally never adjectival.
  • Matasović erroneously reconstructs the ending as -estus.[1] This reconstruction is incorrect because the suffix cannot have had an -e-, as demonstrated by Brittonic suffixal -a-.
  • Hamp derives the second element from a Celtic counterpart to Latin astō (“to be present, stand by”).[2]

Adjective

*adastos[3]

  1. suitable, fitting, proper
