Toil, “hard work”
from the 13th century, “turmoil, contention, dispute”
from Anglo-French, toiler, “agitate, stir, entangle”
from Old French, toeillier, “drag about, make dirty”
from Latin tudiculare, “crush with a small hammer”
an instrument for crushing?
But also a net or snare, from French toile, “hunting net, cloth, web”
to weave, to fabricate, and to till, as in to cultivate
And to do it all again, but why and how?
