  1. wheat

    masculine · uncountable
Where this word comes from

From Middle Welsh gwenith, from Proto-Brythonic *gwöniθ (compare Cornish gwaneth, Breton gwinizh) from Proto-Celtic *uɸo-nixtos, from Proto-Indo-European *neyk- (“to winnow”) (compare nithio (“to winnow”)). Suggestions that this word is a compound of gwyn (“white”) + ith (“grain”) fail to account for the lack of -nn- as would be expected before a vowel (compare gwynnu (“to whiten”).
