Etymology

From Middle High German dulten, dulden, from Old High German dulten, thulten, derived from thult, githult (compare modern Geduld), a verbal abstract of tholēn from Proto-Germanic *þuljaną (to bear, to endure), whence also Old Saxon tholian. The denominal verb forms are originally south-western and spread northward during the Middle Ages (compare Dutch dulden from Middle Dutch ghedult). The second -d- is due to voicing after a liquid (as seen in some other words).
