feic

== Irish == === Etymology === From Old Irish ·aicci (“sees”), prototonic form of ad·cí, from Proto-Celtic *adkʷiseti, from Proto-Indo-European *kʷeys- (“see, heed”) (compare Sanskrit चायति (cāyati, “perceives”)) or Proto-Indo-European *kʷes- (compare Sanskrit चक्षति (cakṣati, “sees”)). The initial f- of the Modern Irish form comes from the misinterpretation of aic- as lenited fhaic- (later modified to fheic). Compare Scottish Gaelic faic. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /fʲec/ === Noun === feic m (genitive singular feic, nominative plural feiceanna) (disparagingly) sight, spectacle ==== Declension ==== === Verb === feic (present analytic feiceann, future analytic feicfidh, verbal noun feiceáil, past participle feicthe) (ambitransitive) see ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== dofheicthe (“invisible”, adjective) infheicthe (“visible”, adjective) sofheicthe (“visible”, adjective) === Mutation === === Further reading === Ó Dónaill, Niall (1977), “feic”, in Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla, Dublin: An Gúm, →ISBN de Bhaldraithe, Tomás (1959), “feic”, in English-Irish Dictionary, An Gúm “feic”, in New English-Irish Dictionary, Foras na Gaeilge, 2013–2026 An briathar cíonn (pp. 278-281) in Ó Sé, Diarmuid.
