Language abbreviations clarifies that the tárol derivation of the verb, dated from 1779, is ’nyit; öffnen’ [to open] (Kónyi János: NySz.)", an early coinage that has become obsolete, and the tárol derivation of the noun, dated from 1890, is ’lagern’ [to store] (Ballagi), which is still in use today.
