Etymology

fo- +‎ Proto-Celtic *kerdo- ‎(“to put, lay, move”) (compare Middle Welsh kerdet, Welsh cerdded ‎(“to walk, go”), Breton kerzed ‎(“a march, a walk”), Cornish kerdhes ‎(“to go”)), from Proto-Indo-European *kerd- ‎(“to swing”) (compare Ancient Greek κραδαίνω ‎(kradaínō, “to swing”), Latin cardō ‎(“hinge”), Old High German scerdo ‎(“hinge”)).

The prototonic forms of the present stem (·cuirethar etc.) are denominative from cor ‎(“putting, casting, throwing”), from Proto-Celtic *koros ‎(“act of putting, casting, a throw”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- ‎(“to cut off”).

The perfective and perfect forms (ro·lá etc.) are from ro- + Proto-Celtic *layo-, from Proto-Indo-European *leh₁- (Latin lētum ‎(“death”); Old Church Slavonic лѣнъ ‎(lěnŭ, “lazy”); Hittite [script needed] ‎(laizzi, “lets”); Lithuanian liáutis ‎(“stop”); Gothic 𐌻𐌴𐍅𐌾𐌰𐌽 ‎(lēwjan, “betray”), 𐌻𐌴𐍅 ‎(lēw, “opportunity, cause”)).
