Proto-Celtic
Etymology
Unknown. The u of the Welsh word is unexpected, as Proto-Celtic *ū becomes *i in Proto-Brythonic and i in Welsh (compare Proto-Celtic *dūnom > Welsh din). It is possible the Welsh word was influenced by Gaulish or Goidelic, or is a loanword from one of them.
Adjective
*drūtos
- foolish, lewd
- costly
- daring, wanton
- furious, grievous
