Etymology

Back-formation from gwneuthur, from Middle Welsh gwneuthur, altered from *gwreithur with -n- from gwnio ‎(“to sew”), from Proto-Celtic *wrego- (compare Cornish gwra ‎(“he does, makes”), Breton gra ‎(“he does, makes”), Old Irish fairged ‎(“they made”)), from Proto-Indo-European *werǵ- (compare English work). Middle Welsh preserved the -r- in the preterite: gwreith ‎(“I did, made”), goruc ‎(“he did, made”).
