foídid

Old Irish

Etymology

From Proto-Celtic *woidīti, from Proto-Indo-European *woydéyeti (“to let see”, causative) from the root *weyd- (“to see”). Cognate with Sanskrit वेदयति (vedayati, “announce”) and Proto-Germanic *waitijaną (“to cause to know, to show”). The verbs ro·finnadar (“to find out”) and ad·fét (“to tell”) are from the same root.
