eisteddfodwr m (plural eisteddfodwyr)

eisteddfodwr, one who frequents eisteddfodau, especially as a competitor
- 1891, Y Geninen: cylchgrawn chwarterol cenedlaethol, Caernarfon, page 206:
  Fel eisteddfodwr, cystal ag fel cymanfâwr, gormod o duedd i daflu allan sylwadau rhy ddigrifol fyddai ei “bechod parod i'w amgylchu,” yr hyn, er hyny, iddo ef, oedd mor naturiol ag anadlu.
  As one who often frequented eisteddfodau, as much as he did singing festivals, his overfondness for making off-the-cuff humorous remarks was his “ever-present besetting sin”, which, in spite of that, was to him as natural as breathing.
