Irish

Etymology

From Old Irish cloisid, cloistid, apparently a conflation of coistid (is silent, listens) with clos (hearing). Coistid is a late form of con·túaisi, from Proto-Celtic *tawsos (silent) (compare Old Irish tóe (silent), Welsh taw (be silent)), from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂ws- (still, silent) (compare Sanskrit तूष्णीम् (tūṣṇīm, silently). Clos is related to clúas (hearing, ear), from Proto-Celtic *kloustā (hearing, ear) (compare Welsh clust), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱlewst- (compare Old English hlyst (hearing)), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱlew- (to hear).
