tollo

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 (“earth that bears”). 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”). Further cognate with Ancient Greek τλάντος (tlántos, “bearing; suffering”), τολμέω (tolméō, “to carry; to bear”), τελαμών (telamṓn, “broad strap for bearing something”), Ἄτλας (Átlas, “Atlas”, who bears the heavens), Lithuanian ti̇̀ltas (“bridge”), Sanskrit तुला (tulā́, “balance”), तुलयति (tulayati, “lifts up; weighs”), Gothic 𐌸𐌿𐌻𐌰𐌽 (þulan, “to suffer; to endure”), Old English þolian (“to endure”) (English thole), Old Armenian թողում (tʻołum, “to allow”).
