Old Irish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Stifter (2013) derives this from a Proto-Celtic *adcomstāts, semantically justifying the coinage as originally referring to a person who stood alongside another "at (a matter)", hence being a rival over a subject.[1] But this derivation would thus be at semantic odds with that of its close relative ad·cota (“to get”).
