Welsh Britain
Welsh Britain n. Obsolete = Welsh Briton n.; cf. Britain n.1 [Apparently partly after post-classical Latin Brytas walos, accusative plural (1572 in the passage translated in quot. 1573); itself after Old English Brytwealas , plural (e.g. in the passage of the Anglo-Saxon Chron. corresponding to quot. 1670; compare discussion in main etymology) and partly after post-classical Latin Cambro-Britannus (1572 in a description of the author on the title page of the source translated in quot. 1573).]
