Etymology

From Middle Welsh ufydd, perhaps from Latin oboediēns via a Proto-Brythonic *ʉβʉð or *ʉβɨð, though this has phonological difficulties as the expected outcome would be Proto-Brythonic *oβuɨð yielding Welsh *ofwydd. Another possibility is a derivation from ufyl (“humble”) + -ydd, though here the loss of yl is unexplained.[1]
