Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Probably from the l-participle *tulъ + *-iti of otherwise obsolete Proto-Balto-Slavic *táuˀtei (“to entangle, to coil”) whence (via another extension) Lithuanian taujóti (“to squash”), Latvian taũjât (“to wander”). Possibly distantly related to Sanskrit तौति (tauti, “to gain power, strength”).
Verb
*tulìti impf[1]
- to constrict, to cram, to congregate
- to contain, to enfold, to sheath (perhaps secondary from *tulъ, *tula (“quiver, envelop”) + *-iti)
- → (by extension) to hide, to shelter
