Meaning & usage
a Pict, a resident of early Scotland
Where this word comes from
Superficially from Latin pictus (“painted one”), but probably rendering a Pictish autonym, probably related to the origin of another Celtic tribe, the Pictones (compare Poitiers); perhaps from a Proto-Celtic *Kʷritanī, *Kʷritenī, the Goidelic/Q-Celtic version of the Brittonic/P-Celtic *Pritani, whence Welsh Prydyn (“Picts”), Middle Irish Cruithne, Cruithen-túaith (“Picts”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷer- (“to do”). Guto Rhys has noted a possible connection to Old Welsh Peithan, perhaps attesting the same element as Welsh gobaith (“hope”), although the etymology is uncertain, it would presumably derive from a Proto-Brythonic *pext-.
