. The word derives from the prefix ''cym-'' ("together", "with") and the noun ''bod'' ("home, abode"). The English word "commote" is derived from the Middle Welsh ''cymwt''.

Medieval Welsh land organisation

The basic unit of land was the ''tref'', a small village or settlement. In theory, 100 ''trefi'' made up a '' cantref'' (literally, "one hundred settlements"; plural: ''cantrefi''), and half or a third of a ''cantref'' was a ''cymwd'', although in practice the actual numbers varied greatly. Together with the ''cantrefi'', commotes were the geographical divisions through which defence and justice were organised. In charge of a commote would be a chieftain probably related to the ruling Prince of the Kingdom. His court would have been situated in a special ''tref'', referred to as a ''maerdref''. Here, the bonded villagers who farmed the chieftain's estate lived, together with the court officials and servants. Commotes were further divided into ''maenorau'' or ''maenolydd''.

. The commotes mentioned in the Domesday Book, in general, represented recent Anglo-Norman advances into Welsh territory. Although the commotes were assessed for military service and taxation, their obligations were rated in carucates (derived from Latin for cattle or oxen), not in hides as on the English side of the border. The customs of the commotes are described in the Domesday accounts of the border earldoms of

History

In legal usage, the English word 'commote' replaced ''cwmwd'' following the Edwardian conquest of Wales in the 13th century, when English was made the official language for all legal documents. The Welsh, most of whom knew not a word of English, naturally continued to use ''cwmwd'' and still do so today. In much of Wales, commotes had become more important than ''cantrefi'' by the mid-13th century and administration of Welsh law became the responsibility of the commote court rather than the ''cantref'' court.

Owain Glyndŵr Owain ap Gruffydd (), commonly known as Owain Glyndŵr or Glyn Dŵr (, anglicised as Owen Glendower), was a Welsh leader, soldier and military commander who led a 15 year long Welsh War of Independence with the aim of ending English rule in W ...

called representatives from the commotes for his two parliaments during the rising of 1400–1409. The boundaries of commotes, or in some cases cantrefi, were in many cases subsequently more accurately represented by church rural deaneries than by the hundreds issuing from the 16th century Acts of Union.

''Is'' and ''Uwch'' in commote names

A considerable number of the names of adjacent medieval Welsh commotes contain ''is'' (meaning "lower", or "below" as a preposition) and ''uwch'' (originally ''uch'' and meaning "higher", or "above" as a preposition), with the dividing line between them being a natural boundary, such as a river, mountain or forest. Melville Richards noted that, in almost every instance where this occurs, the point of central authority was in the "''is'' division" when the commote was named, and he suggested that such commotes were originally named in the sense of 'nearer' and 'farther' based on the location of that central authority—''i.e.'', the terminology is for administrative purposes and not a geographical characterisation. Richards attributed the use of ''is'' and ''uwch'' to some confusion in translating Latin ''sub'' (meaning "lower") and ''supra'' (meaning "upper") into Welsh in too literal a sense, when the proper sense was to consider ''sub'' to be an administrative synonym for Latin ''cis'' (meaning "this side of"), and to consider ''supra'' to be an administrative synonym for Latin ''trans'' (meaning "the other side of"). A number of smaller units, such as manors, parishes and townships, also use the administrative distinction of ''is'' and ''uwch'', sometimes in their Latin forms (''e.g.'', the manor of Clydach in Uwch Nyfer, divided into Sub Clydach and Ultra (Supra) Clydach). This is unrelated to the common use of ''isaf'' and ''uchaf'' in farm names, where the terms are used in the geographical sense.

List of commotes, organised by cantref

The Red Book of Hergest (1375–1425) provides a detailed list of commotes in the late 14th and early 15th centuries., ''Red Book of Hergest''
Cantreds and Commotes of Wales
The list has some overlaps and is ambiguous in parts, especially in the Gwynedd section. It should also be borne in mind that the number and organisation of the commotes was different in the earlier Middle Ages; some of the units and divisions listed here are late creations. The original orthography of the manuscript is given here together with the standard modern Welsh equivalents.
