Etymology
The word 'tole' originates as a nonstandard form of 'told', which is derived from the Old English word 'tellan', meaning 'to count, relate, or recount'. Over time, as English evolved, variations of spelling and pronunciation emerged, particularly in dialectical usage. While 'tole' is frequently encountered in informal speech, it reflects the dynamic nature of language, where spoken forms can diverge from standard written conventions. This phenomenon is common in many languages, where colloquialisms develop in various regions, influenced by cultural and societal factors. Despite its nonstandard status, 'tole' captures how language adapts to the communicative needs of its speakers.
