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 ‎(“bearing earth”). 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”).
