Etymology
Comes from Middle English talow or talgh, which developed from Old English *tealh or *tealg (compare Old English tælg, telg, meaning “dye”), from Proto-West Germanic *talg, from Proto-Germanic *talgaz (compare Dutch talg and German Talg), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *del-, meaning “to flow” (compare Middle Irish delt, “dew”, and Old Armenian տեղ (teł, “heavy rain”)).
