Etymology
1. From Middle Welsh diolwch, from di- (“from, of”) + iolwch (“grateful praise”), from ioli (“to praise”), from Proto-Brythonic *jọl, from Proto-Celtic *yālos (“prayer, worship”).
2. An alternative etymology connecting it with Old Irish ad·tluchedar (“to give thanks”) (from Proto-Indo-European *telkʷ- (“to speak”)) is semantically satisfying but phonologically implausible.
