Kantiad

Etymology

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

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈkantjad/

Noun

Kantiad m (plural Kantiaid, not mutable)

  1. (philosophy) a Kantian

Usage notes

  • 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.
