Pronunciation [edit]

Etymology 1 [edit]

From Middle English tol, tolle, from Old English tol, toll, toln (“toll, duty, custom”), from Proto-Germanic *tullō (“what is counted or told”), from Proto-Indo-European *dol- (“calculation, fraud”)[1]. Cognate with Dutch tol (“toll”), German Zoll (“toll, duty, customs”), Danish told (“toll, duty, tariff”), Swedish tull (“toll, customs”), Icelandic tollur (“toll”), Latin dolus (“trick, deception”). More at tell, tale.

Alternate etymology derives Old English toll, from Medieval Latin tolōneum, tolōnium, alteration (due to the Germanic forms above) of Latin telōneum, from Ancient Greek τελώνιον (“toll-house”), from τέλος (telos, “tax”).
