Derived terms

Old Irish

Etymology

Unknown. MacBain associates it with Proto-Indo-European *telh₂- (“to bear, endure”), but the semantic connection is tenuous.

The form toil was originally the accusative singular, while the form tuil was the dative singular. But both forms were already confused in the Glosses.
