Etymology
Noun
eisteddfodau
plural of eisteddfod
Usage notes
• As eisteddfodau are a particularly Welsh cultural institution, the use of the etymologically consistent plural is far more common than the use of other such plurals of words borrowed from Welsh; compare: corgwn, cymoedd.
• The use of this plural is preferred by most writers and speakers over the alternative English plural (eisteddfods) as it is long-accepted usage and shows greater cultural sensitivity.
