Middle Irish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
No exact Celtic cognates, but seemingly related to find (“head hair”), which is hypothetically from Proto-Celtic *wendom (“(single) hair”); thus, from Proto-Celtic *wenso-,[1] from Proto-Indo-European *wendʰ-so- (“~facial hair”), from the root *wendʰ-, and distantly cognate with Old Prussian wanso (“first beard”), Proto-Slavic *ǫsъ (“moustache”), Ancient Greek ἴονθος (íonthos, “downy hair, first beard; root of hair; eruption on the face, acne”) (if earlier *ϝί-ϝονθος (*wí-wonthos)), and the first element of Old High German wint-brāwa, Middle Dutch wint-brauwe (“eyelash”) (Proto-West Germanic *windabrāwu).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
fés
Usage notes[edit]
Neither sense is sufficiently well attested to permit either gender or inflection type to be determined. The Modern Irish descendant, however, is a masculine o-stem.
Derived terms[edit]
