Pronunciation

• (South Wales) IPA^(key): /ˌkiːdˈwɛld/, /ˌkɪdˈwɛld/

Verb

cyd-weld (first-person singular present cydwelaf)

1. (intransitive) to agree

   Synonyms: cydsynio, cytuno

   Antonyms: anghyd-weld, anghydsynio, anghytuno

Usage notes

• As the stress on the final syllable, technically, this should be spelt with a hyphen as cyd-weld. However, the older spelling cydweld is very familiar and so extremely common.
