Old Irish edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
The prefixes are either aith- + ar- or aith- + ess-. The root was formerly believed to be Proto-Celtic *regeti, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃reǵ-. Nowadays however an unrelated verb *reketi is instead reconstructed as the root of ad·eirrig,[1] in consideration of Brythonic relatives like Cornish edrek (“regret”).[2]
