noídiu

Old Irish

From Proto-Celtic *nowēdwūs (“unknowing”), from *ne + Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see, know”). See also fíadu (from Proto-Celtic *weidwūs) for a related formation. The n-stem inflection is secondary; it is analogical to other n-stems that would also end in -ū in the nominative singular.
