Etymology
1. Probably of Celtic origin, from Gaulish *tondā, from Proto-Celtic *tondā (“surface, skin”), though Matasovic doubts this, stating that the meanings are too different.
2. 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. See: Dutch Nouns '
ton', German Nouns '
Tonne'.
