Where this word comes from

Inherited from Proto-Italic *tolnō, from Proto-Indo-European *tl̥néh₂ti ~ *tl̥nh₂énti, from *telh₂- + *-né-. Cognate with Latin tolerō (“to bear, endure, support, sustain, suffer”), tulī (“to bore”), lātus (“borne”), tellūs (“the earth, globe”). The perfect and supine stems of tollō were prefixed with sub- (“under, below, beneath, underneath, behind”) to distinguish them from the original forms tetulī and lātum, which had become suppletively attached to the conjugation of ferō (“to bear, carry, support, lift, hold, take up; to report, tell”). Further cognate with Ancient Greek τλάντος (tlántos, “bearing; suffering”), τολμέω (tolméō, “to carry; to bear”), τελᾰμών (telămṓn, “broad strap for bearing something”), Ᾰ̓́τλᾱς (Ắtlās, “Atlas”, who bears the heavens), Lithuanian ti̇̀ltas (“bridge”), Sanskrit तुला (tulā́, “balance”), तुलयति (tulayati, “lifts up; weighs”), Gothic 𐌸𐌿𐌻𐌰𐌽 (þulān, “to suffer; to endure”), Old English þolian (“to endure”, whence English thole), Old Armenian թողում (tʻołum, “to allow”).
