Noun

IPA: /dʁɥid/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-Jérémy-Günther-Heinz Jähnick-druide.wav Forms: druides [plural], druidesse [feminine]
Etymology: Inherited from Old French druide (13th c.), borrowed from Latin druidae, from Gaulish *druwits, from Proto-Celtic *druwits (“wise person”). The Old French form is definitely a borrowing and not inherited. The question poses itself, however, whether the word was inherited since then or borrowed again later on.
