Cognate withCornishtor,Scottish Gaelictòrr,Welshtwr,Irishtor,Frenchtor, andRomanshtor/tur/tuor; the first four are Celtic (fromLatinturris), the last two directly fromLatinturris (fromAncient Greekτύρρις(túrrhis) andτύρσις(túrsis)). It is not clear whether the Celtic forms were borrowed from Old English or vice versa.Doublet oftourelle,tower, andturret.
