Origen e historia

From Old English 'turnian' and Old French 'torner', both from Latin 'tornare' (to turn on a lathe), from Greek 'tornos' (a lathe, a circular movement). The same root gives us 'tornado' (turning wind), 'tournament' (where knights turn to joust), and 'attorney' (one turned to for help).
