After watching a couple of Welsh police dramas this weekend, I noticed the word heddlu on the back of police officers’ vests. Unsurprisingly, heddlu means police in Welsh but it’s the combination of two words:
From hedd (“peace”) + llu (“host, force”)
Wiktionary
That feels like the opposite of what the police do.
