Gammerstang commented on the word gwethall
(noun) - Household stuff. The word is used to denote an entire collection, like "bag and baggage." From Welsh gweddill, remnants. Welsh gweddilio is to leave a remnant, and gweddw is a widow, or left person. Gweddill is therefore connected with the root of widow, which seems to exist in most European languages. --G.C. Lewis's Glossary of Provincial Words Used in Herefordshire, 1839
