The term "tonsillitis" has two "l"s because it originates from the Latin word "tonsilla," which refers to the tonsils. The suffix "-itis" is used in medical terminology to denote inflammation. Therefore, the double "l" reflects the plural form of "tonsilla," indicating the inflammation of both tonsils.
