Druidn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈdruːɪd/, U.S.

/ˈdruəd/

Forms: Also 1500s–1600s Druide, 1600s Druyd.

Etymology: < French druide (1512 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), < Latin *druida, ? druis, found only in plural, druidae, druides, in Greek δρυΐδαι; < Old Celtic dental-stem druid-, whence Old Irish drui, dative and accusative druid, plural druad, modern Irish and Gaelic draoi (draoidh, druidh, genitive druadh) magician, sorcerer, Welsh dryw (also derwydd, perhaps not the same word). As to the ulterior etymology, see Holder, Alt.-Celt. Sprachschatz s.v.

1. One of an order of men among the ancient Celts of Gaul and Britain, who, according to Cæsar were priests or religious ministers and teachers, but who figure in native Irish and Welsh legend as magicians, sorcerers, soothsayers, and the like. (The English use follows the Latin sources, whence it was derived, rather than native Celtic usage.) In early use always in plural.
