Etymology

Of unclear origin.[1] Probably borrowed from Dravidian; compare Tamil சுங்கம் (cuṅkam, customs, toll). Despite the Sanskrit term's Vedic attestation, comparanda in other Indo-European languages, such as Russian сули́ть (sulítʹ, to promise), Latin ōscillum (swing), and Lithuanian šolkas (balance scale), are less convincing.[2] The Sanskrit root शुल्क् (śulk, to pay) is artificially derived from this word.
