Old Irish

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Derived somehow from Proto-Celtic *ɸreswos, from Proto-Indo-European *prews-. Cognate with English freeze and Latin pruina (hoar-frost). Matasović posits an immediate preform *ɸreswotos to account for the Goidelic forms, but it would result in ×refud instead as the usual reflex of intervocalic *-sw- in Old Irish is -f-. On the other hand, *ɸresw-tos > *ɸresutos is a viable pre-form.
