Etymology

Borrowed from Ancient Greek Τρῆρος (Trêros). The stem *tol in its alternative form can be compared with the city Tolentinum in Picenum, and possibly Toletum in Hispania and modern French Toulouse in France. Or, possible Proto-Indo-European origins include *tel- (to be still) (Lithuanian tyla (silence)), *telh₂- (flat ground, bottom) or *telh₂- (to transport, carry).
