===Etymology 1===
From {{inh|en|enm|tor}}, {{m|enm|torr-}}, from {{inh|en|ang|torr}}, {{m|ang|tor|t=a high rock, lofty hill, tower}}, possibly from {{der|en|cel-pro|-}}, compare {{der|en|owl|*tor|t=hill}}; ultimately from {{der|en|la|turris|t=tower}}, from {{der|en|grc|τύρρις}}, {{m|grc|τύρσις|t=tower}}, of non-Indo-European origin.

Cognate with {{cog|kw|tor}}, {{cog|gd|tòrr}}, {{cog|cy|tŵr}}, {{cog|ga|tor}}, {{cog|fr|tor}}, and {{cog|rm|tor}}/{{m|rm|tur}}/{{m|rm|tuor}}; the first four are Celtic (from {{cog|la|turris}}), the last two directly from {{cog|la|turris}} (from {{cog|grc|τύρρις}} and {{m|grc|τύρσις}}). It is not clear whether the Celtic forms were borrowed from Old English or vice versa. {{doublet|en|tourelle|tower|turret}}.
