Etymology

The word 'bole' has its origin in Middle English, from Old Norse 'bolr' meaning 'tree trunk'. It has been used in English to refer to the trunk of a tree since the 14th century. Over time, its usage expanded to also include the sense of physical pain, likely due to the idea of a throbbing sensation resembling the shape of a tree trunk.
