adeirrig

Old Irish

Alternative forms

Etymology

The prefixes are either aith- +‎ ar- or aith- +‎ ess-. The root was formerly believed to be Proto-Celtic *regeti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ-. Nowadays however an unrelated verb *reketi is instead reconstructed as the root of ad·eirrig,[1] in consideration of Brythonic relatives like Cornish edrek (“regret”).[2]
