Etymology

From older, now literary, dyfod, from Middle Welsh dyuot. A highly suppletive verb. The verbal noun is from dy- +? bod (“to be”). The other forms are from Proto-Celtic *toageti, itself also a suppletive verb (stemming from *h?e?- and *pelh?-). See also Old Irish do·aig (“to drive off”). See also mynd, which inherited the unprefixed counterparts of this verb. The second-person singular imperative forms additionally stem from a prefixed form of *reteti.
