Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *tolnō, from Proto-Indo-European *tl̥néh₂ti ~ *tl̥nh₂énti, from the root *telh₂- (“to bear, carry”). Cognate with Latin tolerō (“to bear, endure”), tulī (“I bore”), lātus (“borne”), tellūs (“earth that bears”). The perfect and supine stems of tollo were prefixed with sub (“beneath”) to distinguish them from the original forms tetulī and lātum, which had become suppletively attached to the conjugation of ferō (“to bear”).

Farther cognate with Ancient Greek τλάντος (tlántos, “bearing, suffering”), τολμέω (tolméō, “to carry, bear”), τελαμών (telamṓn, “broad strap for bearing something”), Ἄτλας (Átlas, “the ‘Bearer’ of Heaven”), Lithuanian tiltas (“bridge”), Sanskrit तुला (tulā, “balance”), तुलयति (tulayati, “lifts up, weighs”), Old English þolian (“to endure”) (English thole), Old Armenian թողում (tʿołum, “I allow”).
