Brittonicadj.n.

Brit.

/brɪˈtɒnɪk/, U.S.

/brɪˈtɑnɪk/

Forms: 1900s– Britonic (nonstandard), 1900s– Britonnic (nonstandard), 1900s– Brittonic.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; probably partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Briton n., -ic suffix.

Etymology: < Briton n. + -ic suffix; in philological use probably after French brittonique, †britonnique, adjective and noun ( J. Loth Mots latins dans les langues brittoniques (1892) 1). Compare post-classical Latin britonicus British (11th cent. in an apparently isolated attestation in an Irish source). Compare earlier Brythonic n. Compare also P-Celtic n.The form with -tt- (in both French and English) is a learned alteration after either classical Latin Brittōn-, Brittō or its reconstructed Celtic etymon (see Briton n. and adj.). The form Britonnic is perhaps influenced by Britannic adj. This word is now frequently used to replace Brythonic n. and Brythonic adj. as a linguistic term (compare quot. 1953 at sense B.). Usually contrasted with Goidelic n. and Goidelic adj.

A. adj.

Of, relating to, or designating the people originally inhabiting all of Britain south of the Firth of Forth before and during the Roman occupation; spec. of, relating to, or designating Brittonic (see branch B.). Cf. P-Celtic adj., Brythonic adj.
