doáirci

Old Irish

Etymology

From to- +‎ ad- +‎ ro- +‎ ·icc. Alternatively a denominative from tairec (“preparations”), itself from to- +‎ ar- +‎ ·icc. Le Mair believes the verb root was instead ·uic, the related causative counterpart of ·icc, which would explain the weak inflection and the aberrant unpalatalized form ·tarcat in the Würzburg Glosses. She explains other palatalized forms as analogical.[1]
