Etymology

From Middle Welsh dillat, from Proto-Brythonic *dillad (“clothes, clothing”), from which Old Irish díllat (“garment, raiment”) was borrowed. Cognate with Cornish dillas, Breton dilhad, and Irish diallait.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “GPC doesn't give an etymology. Perhaps a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- (“to put, place”), as clothes are things that one puts on their body?”
