Zwinglïad

Welsh

Etymology

From German Zwingli (“surname of Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Protestant reformer”) +‎ -iad.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /swɪŋˈɡliː.ad/

Noun

Zwinglïad m (plural Zwinglïaid, not mutable)

  1. (Christianity) a Zwinglian

Usage notes

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