  1. From Latin druidēs, druids, of Celtic origin; see deru- in Indo-European roots.

Toggle Century etymologies Century Dictionary (1)

  1. = German druide = French druide = Spanish Portuguese druida = Italian druido, from Latin druida, plural druidæ, also druis (feminine druias, plural druides (usually i plural), = Greek δρνίδης a druid; of Old Celtic origin: from Olr. drui, genitive druad, dative and accusative druid, nominative plural and dual druad, later Irish and Gael, draoi, genitive druadh, a magician (Latin magus); also later nominative druidh = Welsh derwydd (orig. nominative * dryw), a druid. Cf. Anglo-Saxon dry¯, a magician, from Olr., drui, a magician. The W. form shows a forced simulation of Welsh derw, an oak; so L. druidœ was thought tobe connected with Greek δρῦς, a tree, especially anoak (= English tree); but this is guesswork. Cf. Olr. dair (genitive darach), daur (genitive daro, dara) = Old Gaelic dair = Welsh dār, an oak.
