Gydym

Gydym is a Welsh noun meaning healing, cure, or restoration of health. It refers to the process of recovering from illness or injury as well as the result of medical treatment, rehabilitation, or natural recovery. In Welsh language contexts, gydym can be used across medical, religious, and everyday discourse to denote healing in physical, mental, or social dimensions.

Historically, gydym is part of the Welsh health vocabulary and appears in both medieval and modern Welsh texts, including religious writings and medical literature. In contemporary Welsh, it is used to describe both the process of healing and the outcome of treatment, and it can be applied in clinical, wellness, and holistic contexts as appropriate.

In practice, discussions of gydym often touch on health and well-being services in Wales, as well as cultural understandings of recovery, care, and support networks. The term thus encompasses a broad sense of restoration, from tangible medical recovery to broader notions of well-being and resilience.
