Etymology

Originally the past participle of an earlier verb *telt, parallel form *tilt, from Proto-Baltic *tel-, *til-, from Proto-Indo-European *tel-, *stel- (“to spread, to spread out”), whence also Latvian telpa (“space, room”). The original meaning was therefore “(that which is) spread out”, from which “(path, road) covered with intertwined, interlaced branches, logs” (a meaning still attested in folk songs) and then “bridge.” Cognates include Lithuanian tìltas; elsewhere, the stem *tel-, *stel- led to notions like “smooth base, floor, board:” Lithuanian dialectal tìl? (“a boat's bottom plank”), Old Prussian talus (“floor”), Proto-Slavic *t?lo (“base, floor”) (Old Church Slavonic ???? (t?lo), Russian, Ukrainian ??? (tlo), Czech tla (“floor”), Polish t?o (“base, background”), Upper Sorbian t?o (“floor, base, bottom”)), Old Irish talam (“earth”) (< *tl?-mo-), Proto-Germanic *þiliz (“board, plank”) (Old Norse þil, þili (“plank wall”), þilja (“floor, plank”), þel (“base, floor”), Old High German dil, dilo (“plank wall, floor”), dilla (“board, floor, ship deck”), German Diele (“plank”)), Sanskrit ???? (talam, “plain, flat surface; palm”), Ancient Greek ????? (t?li?, “game table, board”), Albanian tullë (“brick”),Latin tell?s (“earth”) (< *telnos), Ossetian ?????? (tærxæg, “bench”).
