Caer (Welsh pronunciation: [kɑːɨr]; Old Welsh: cair or kair) is a placename element in Welsh meaning "stronghold", "fortress", or "citadel", roughly equivalent to an Old English suffix (-ceaster) now variously written as -caster, -cester, and -chester. In modern Welsh orthography, caer is usually written as a prefix, although it was formerly—particularly in Latin—written as a separate word. The Breton equivalent is kêr, which is present in many Breton placenames as the prefix Ker-.

  • Caer (Galês antigo: cair ou kair) é um nome de um elemento de localização geográfica em galês que significa "baluarte", "fortaleza" ou "cidadela", aproximadamente equivalente ao sufixo inglês antigo atualmente com escritos variados como: -caster, -cester, e -chester. Na moderna, "caer" é geralmente escrito como um prefixo, embora tenha sido anteriormente - particularmente em latim - escrito como uma palavra separada. (pt)
  • Caer (pronúncia gal·lesa: [kɑːɨr]; irlandès antic: cair o kair) és un element de topònim en gal·lès que vol dir "plaça forta", "fortalesa", o "ciutadella", a grans trets equivalent als antics termes celtes dun i briga que també designaven fortaleses ("oppidum" per als romans), però aquests sobretot si eren en llocs elevats. El gal·lès té un altre terme específic per a "castell", casualment idèntic al català: castell, que prové del llatí castrum ("post fortificat"). La forma plural d'aquest mot, castra ("campament militar"), esdevingué un sufix habitual en l'anglès antic i produí diversos topònims en les variants -caster, -cester, i -chester. (ca)

  • In gallese, caer significa "fortezza, forte, cittadella, castello" (più in generale "luogo fortificato"). Parecchi nomi di città sono formati con la parola caer utilizzato come prefisso, essendo in ciò perfettamente equivalente ai suffissi inglesi -caster, -cester e -chester presenti nei toponimi. La parola inglese deriva dal latino castrum "luogo fortificato" (essa era utilizzata al plurale castra con il significato di "accampamento militare" e al singolare castrum con il significato di "castello", castell in gallese.
