Welsh

Etymology

From Zwingli (surname of Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Protestant reformer) + -aidd.

Pronunciation

  • (standard) IPA(key): /swɪŋˈɡliː.ai̯ð/
    • (colloquial) IPA(key): /swɪŋˈɡliː.ɛð/

Adjective

Zwinglïaidd (feminine singular Zwinglïaidd, plural Zwinglïaidd, not comparable, not mutable)

Usage notes

  • Being derived from a proper name, Zwinglïaidd does not have its spelling adapted to typical Welsh orthographic conventions, which do not use the letter z. See also Kantaidd (Kantian).
  • Like many other unnaturalised words recently derived from other languages, Zwinglïaidd does not undergo initial mutation.
