Etymology
editProbably related to प्रतोली (pratolī, “a broad way, principal road”), with further origin unclear.
Kölver derives the word from an unattested *अतिवलन (ativalana), from वल् (val, “to turn round”), from which a pseudo-root *तोल् (tol) / *तुल् (tul) was presumably extracted and used to build तोरण, as well as तोलिका (tolikā, “a wall around a watchtower”) and प्रतोली.
Probably not related to the Mediterranean Kulturworts Ancient Greek τύρσις (túrsis, “tower”) and Latin turris (“tower”).
