Etymology

From Middle High German tolmetsche (13th c.), ultimately from Proto-Turkic *tilmač (compare Turkish dilmaç). Probably borrowed through a Slavic language; compare Proto-Slavic *tъlmačь (“interpreter”), whence Russian толма́ч (tolmáč), Polish tłumacz. Alternatively through Hungarian tolmács.
