Where this word comes from
From Middle Welsh chwetyl, from Proto-Brythonic *hwedl, from Primitive Irish *skʷetlan (compare Old Irish scél), from Proto-Celtic *skʷetlom. If the Proto-Celtic word had descended directly into Welsh it would have become *ysbedl rather than chwedl; the labialisation of the original labiovelar was somehow irregularly lost as the term entered Brythonic.
