Your etymology has been considered. However, as I stated in the talk section, the Welsh form is most likely to be derived from the root of Latin PUTER and PUTRIS (stinking, fetid), or as borrowed from it, during the Roman warfare against part of Wales. What you state as to BAD predating the Anglo-Saxon invasions, I believe is true, but only orally, since it first appears in writing in about 1300 AD. There are slender evidences that this lexeme is actually derived from an ancient Javanese dialect from the Iberians during the Bronze Age period; compare the primitive Spanish forms: BADEA (bad melon), BADOMIA (nonsence, absurdity), BADULACADA [Chili and Peru] (knavish action). Briefly, the etymology is unknown; earlier nineteenth century dictionaries compare a number of Celtic words to English forms, some of which were simply borrowed from the English as a later period, whereas modern dictionaries favour the Germanic origins to the extent that some of the real pre-Germanic origins and hybrid etymologies are discounted. To present etymologies on the Entry pages anyone must be aware of the sound laws and the stringent guidelines on (my) user page. "My" is in brackets, because as soon as the edits were saved, they no longer become "my" property but that of Wiktionary; and the same applies to Wikipedia. Andrew (talk) Andrew H.
