Etymology

From Old Breton gueith, from Proto-Brythonic *gweiθ, from Proto-Celtic *wextā (time, course, turn) (compare Cornish gweyth, Welsh gwaith, Old Irish fecht (journey)), feminine past participle of Proto-Indo-European *weǵʰ- (to carry, drive). A more modern form gwech is often found instead of the original form gwezh.
