The word originates from the common Munster Irish phrase "cad deirir?" (literally: "what are you saying?" or "what do you say?"). Over time, this frequently used conversational question became slurred together in rapid speech into the noun "caidearáil", which was then shortened and anglicized as "cadráil". In English-language dialects spoken in Ireland, it occasionally surfaced as the loanword "codderauling". #ireland #slang #language
