frisben

Old Irish

Alternative forms

fris·tá

Etymology

From frith- +‎ ·tá (“to exist”). Compound formations of ·tá or bíid, due to similar non-present stems, tended to be confused with those of benaid in early Irish. The true etymology is also apparent in the verbal noun frepaid, which must be related to buith, the verbal noun of at·tá.
