Inflections: Plural puirt-a-beul.

Forms: 1900s– port-a-beul, 1900s– port-a-bheul (rare), 1900s– puirt-a-beul.

Origin: A borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymon: Scottish Gaelic port-a-beul.

Etymology: < Scottish Gaelic port-a-beul < port port n.⁸ + a , perhaps showing the preposition a from, out of (Early Irish a , as < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin ex ex prep.) + beul mouth (Early Irish bél : see beal n.³). Compare mouth music n.The plural form puirt-a-beul corresponds to the Scottish Gaelic plural; in English it is also occasionally used as a singular. In the form port-a-bheul the second element has been reinterpreted as the Scottish Gaelic definite article an, a' followed by a genitive with initial mutation, which is a common construction and frequent in place names. However, the correct genitive of beul is a' bheòil. O.E.D. Suppl. (1982) gives the non-naturalized pronunciation (porʃt a biəl) /ˈporʃtəˈbial/.

Scottish.

A fast-paced reel or dancing song consisting of a tune of Lowland Scottish origin to which repetitive, easily memorized Gaelic lyrics have been added, sung unaccompanied.
