feachd

an army, host, expedition, Irish feachd, an expedition, Early Irish fecht (ar fecht agus sluagad), Welsh gwaith, action, work. This Zimmer refers to Old Irish fichim, I fight (Latin vinco, Gothic veihan, root viq), as well as ++feachd time, Irish feachd, Early Irish fecht, oenfhecht, once, Welsh gwaith, turn, vicem. Stokes separates the latter (feachd, time, Early Irish fecht, journey), giving as stem vektâ, root vegh (Latin veho, English waggon); for fecht, campaign, hosting, he gives the Celtic viktâ, root viq, as Zimmer does. The words seem, as Stokes has it, from two roots, but now they are indistinguishably mixed. Osthoff regards feachd, time, as allied to Latin vices; See fiach.
