Etymology

From Middle English tool, tol, from Old English tōl (“tool, implement, instrument”, literally “that with which one prepares something”), perhaps borrowed from Old Norse tól, but at any rate ultimately from Proto-Germanic *tōlą (“that which is used in preparation, tool”), from Proto-Indo-European *dewh₂- (“to tie to, secure”).

Scottish Gaelic

Etymology

From Old Irish tuile, from the root tu- (“swell”). Cognate with Greek τύλος (týlos, “knob, weal”). The Old Irish root ól- (“to flood, abound”) gives Old Irish tólam (“flood”) and imról, foróil (“abundance”).
