orth
Cornish
Alternative forms
Etymology
A permanently lenited form of gorth, now modern gorth- (“anti-”). This mutation (go > o) is extremely uncommon, only occurring in gorsedh and gorour (from gor- + gour), aside from this word.
From Middle Cornish orth, from Proto-Celtic *writ- (compare Old Irish fri), from Proto-Indo-European *wert- (“turn”) (compare Latin versus). Cognate with Welsh wrth, Breton ouzh.
