Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (to bear, carry). Cognates include Sanskrit भरति (bhárati), Ancient Greek φέρω (phérō), Old English beran (English bear).

The stem tul-, related to tollō, is from Proto-Indo-European *telh₂- (to bear, support, suffer), whence also English thole (to endure). The stem of lātus has the same source, reduced from *tlātus.

  1. I bear, carry
  2. I suffer, endure
