Welsh
Etymology
Adapted borrowing of English deduction and Latin dēductiō. The change of Latin -uct- to Welsh -wyth- is regular in loanwords borrowed at the Proto-Brythonic stage (for example, ffrwyth from fructus); this is one of several late coinages formed to appear to be early borrowings. The prefix was adapted to native di-, and the term was suffixed with -iad.
Noun
diddwythiad m (plural diddwythiadau)
- deduction, inference
- (logic) deduction (derivation of a specific conclusion from specified premises)
- Antonym: anwythiad
