Where this word comes from
From Middle Welsh iwt, from Old Welsh iot, from Proto-Celtic *yutos. The Celtic is traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *yéwHs (“soup, broth”), from *yewH- (“to blend, mix (food), knead”). However, Matasović is skeptical of links to Proto-Indo-European, due to the laryngeal in the reconstructed form showing no traces in Celtic, and considers the word a substrate borrowing. Compare however "Dybo's law" of pretonic shortening, which may or may not be valid for Celtic. Cognate with Breton yod, Cornish yos, Old Irish íth, as well as Gallo-Latin iotta, iutta (borrowed from Celtic).
