Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Old French word 'tour', meaning a turn, lathe, or circuit, which itself stems from the Latin 'tornus' (a turner's wheel or lathe) and the Greek 'tornos' (lathe, circle). Over time, the meaning evolved in English from a circular journey or excursion back to the starting point to mean any journey involving visits to various places, particularly for performances or exhibitions.
