pryder

== Norwegian Bokmål == === Verb === pryder present of pryde == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Verb === pryder present of pryda == Swedish == === Verb === pryder present indicative of pryda === Anagrams === dryper == Welsh == === Etymology === From Proto-Brythonic *prɨdar, which is shared with Middle Breton preder, Middle Cornish preder. The expected Proto-Celtic form would be *kʷritro-, but the Brythonic term lacks Goidelic cognates. The ultimate origin is obscure, as obvious Indo-European cognates are lacking (Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do, put together”) is close phonologically, but not semantically convincing). Said by some to be the origin of the name of Pryderi, a character in the Mabinogion. === Pronunciation === (North Wales, standard, colloquial) IPA(key): /ˈprədɛr/ (North Wales, colloquial) IPA(key): /ˈprədar/ (South Wales) IPA(key): /ˈprədɛr/ === Noun === pryder m (plural pryderau or pryderon) worry, (cause of) anxiety ==== Derived terms ==== gorbryder (“anxiety”) pryderu (“to worry, to be anxious”) pryderus (“worried, anxious”) === Mutation === === References === === Further reading === R.
