Etymology

From Kant (“surname of Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant”) +‎ -aidd.

  • (colloquial) IPA^(key): /ˈkantɛð/

Adjective

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

Usage notes

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