Etymology

[edit]

From to- +‎ beirid.

The perfective form do·rat is from to- +‎ ro- +‎ ad- + Proto-Celtic *dāti, from Proto-Indo-European *déh₃t (to give).[1]

The perfective form do·uic is originally a causative to make something arrive of do·icc (to come).[2] These forms may become conflated with the unrelated verb do·ucai (to understand) and in some contexts it may be unclear which of the two verbs is intended.
