Meaning & usage
dolmen (tomb consisting of a capstone supported by two or more upright stones)
Where this word comes from
First attested as dolmin in 1796. One theory states that it is incorrectly fabricated from Breton taol (“table”) + maen (“stone”) (the correct compound would be *taolvaen, not **daolmaen). An alternative theory states the term derives from Cornish tolmen instead, also a compound of toll (“hole”) + men (“stone”); compare the name of the Cornish standing stones Men an Toll.
