Etymology
From Proto-Brythonic *pritarā, *pritaro, which is shared with Middle Breton preder, Middle Cornish preder. The expected Proto-Celtic form would be *kʷritro, *kʷrid, but the Brythonic term lacks Goidelic cognates. The ultimate origin is obscure, as obvious Indo-European cognates are lacking (Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do, put together”) is close phonologically, but not semantically convincing). Said by some to be the origin of the name of Pryderi, a character in the Mabinogion.
