Etymology

**Etymology of *tournée*** The noun *tournée* derives from the French verb *tourner* “to turn, to rotate,” which in turn comes from Latin *tornare* “to turn, to shape on a lathe” (from *tornus* “lathe”). *Tournée* is formed from the past participle *tourné* with the feminine suffix *‑ée*, originally denoting a completed turning or a series of turns. Historically the term meant “a rotation, a circuit,” and it evolved to include figurative uses such as the student “tour” of parties held before exams.
