Etymology

Earlier rhoddi, from a conflation of two separate stems:

  1. Middle Welsh roi (“to give”), from Proto-Brythonic *rroɣid (compare Cornish ry (“to give”), Breton reiñ (“to give”)), from Proto-Celtic *rogīti (“to extend forward”) (compare Old Irish rogaid (“to extend”)), from Proto-Indo-European *h₃roǵéyeti (“to straighten”)
  2. Middle Welsh rodi (“to give”),[1] from Proto-Brythonic *rroðid, from Proto-Celtic *ɸro-dīti (“to put forward”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰédʰeh₁ti (“to put”)[2]

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /r̥ɔi̯/
