Etymology

From German Zwingli (“surname of Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Protestant reformer”) +‎ -aidd.

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

Usage notes

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