: : "No, this is another supposition from Greek and Latin, *br*: : seemingly not related to the true meaning of the word in *br*: : Gaelic. The word Druid in Gaelic doesn't even come close to *br*: : that of Draoi. The word Draoicht in Gaelic means: magician. *br*: : You will not find "wid" in the Gaelic as there is *br*: : no "w" to be found in the language. *br*:*br*: *br*:      I guess she missed the part where it says *br*: "Indo-European," not "Gaelic." And *br*: actually, the word "Druid," from the Latin and *br*: Greek, likely means something like "great *br*: knowledge."*p*     Adding: The word "drai/ocht in Irish actually means "the art of the Druid; magic." Drai/ocht is not the magician, it is what the magician _does_.*p*     She's right. "Wid" is not found in Gaelic (hmm, is she speaking of the Scottish or the Irish when she says "Gaelic"? <eg>). "-vid," however, is an Indo-European root.
