tol in Old English

IPA: /toːl/ [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tōlą, from Proto-Indo-European *dewh₂- (“to tie to; secure”). Possibly inherited through Proto-West Germanic, but since the term is not attested in any other West Germanic language, it may instead be borrowed from Old Norse tól.
