Etymology
[edit]Although the word does come from the French "touret", the translation is poor. "Touret" is a diminutive of "Tour", a tower, which may be castellar but can also be a windmill or church tower. The word is therefore the etymological origin of the English word Turret: the idea here is that of a stand-off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.219.67.181 (talk) 14:48, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
