Proto-Celtic

Etymology

Unknown; the traditional derivation from Proto-Indo-European *dóru (tree; firm) is doubtful. The u of the Welsh word is unexpected, as Proto-Celtic *ū becomes *i in Proto-Brythonic and i in Welsh (compare Proto-Celtic *dūnom > Welsh din). It is possible the Welsh word was influenced by Gaulish or Goidelic, or is a loanword from one of them; foreign /uː/ is usually rendered as u when loaned into Welsh.

Adjective

*drūtos

  1. foolish, lewd
  2. costly
