editEtymology
editProbably of Celtic origin, from Gaulish *tondā, from Proto-Celtic *tondā (“surface, skin”), though Matasovic doubts this, stating that the meanings are too different.[1]
Related with Old Irish tonn (“skin”, also “wineskin”). Cognate with English tun, Dutch ton, German Tonne. The Germanic word is usually considered a borrowing from the Latin.
