Etymology

Of disputed origin, with two prevailing theories:

• From Proto-Indo-European *teh₂-li-, from *to- (“demonstrative stem”); compare Proto-Slavic *toliko (“this much, many”), Latin tālis (“such”).
• Related to Proto-Slavic *dalь (“distance”), which is traditionally derived from the etymology above. However, Smoczynski proposes an alternative derivation for both from Proto-Indo-European *dweh₂rós (“long; far away”), tracing the hypothetical Slavic phonetic development as *dweh₂rós > *dvalŭ > *dalŭ > *dalь.
