Etymology[edit]

From Kant (surname of Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant) +‎ -iad.

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

Kantiad m (plural Kantiaid, not mutable)

  1. (philosophy) a Kantian

Usage notes[edit]

  • Being derived from a proper name, Kantiad does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter k. See also Zwinglïad (a Zwinglian).
  • Like many other unnaturalised nouns recently derived from other languages, Kantiad does not undergo initial mutation.
