Etymology
From Middle Welsh arhos, from Proto-Celtic *ɸare + *woseti (“spend the night; remain”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂wes- (“spend the night”). The -s- originally belonged only to the verbal noun (which is from *ɸarewostom) since *-s- between vowels disappears in Brythonic, hence Middle Welsh forms like arhoaf (“I wait”) have no -s-; in Modern Welsh the -s- has been extended to the finite forms by analogy.
