Tool Several tools in a toolbox Etymology

From Middle English, from Old English tōl (“tool, implement, instrument”, literally “that with which one prepares something”), from Proto-Germanic *tōlan (“tool”), from Proto-Indo-European *dewǝ- (“to tie to, secure”). Cognate with Scots tuil (“tool, implement, instrument, device”), Icelandic tól (“tool”), Faroese tól (“tool, instrument”). Related to Old English tāwian (“to make, prepare, or cultivate”); see taw, and tow ("fibres used for spinning").

Tool is an American rock band, formed in 1990 in Los Angeles, California, who are noted for their progressive infuences and unconventional song structures. They have also been outspoken on a number of issues, ranging from religion to politics, both in their music and in person.
