crefydd

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Welsh

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Welsh creuyð, from Proto-Brythonic *krọβ(ɨð) (with vowel altered after unrelated credu), from Proto-Celtic *krāb- (devotion, religious practice), of unknown origin (compare Old Irish crábud from the variant *krāb-V-tos). Pokorny compares Sanskrit श्रम्भते (śrambhate, to trust) and constructs a Proto-Indo-European *ḱrebʰ- (to trust), but Matasovic calls this "formally extremely difficult" due to the lengthened grade in Celtic.
