tower 英文词源

tower

tower: [12] The ultimate source of tower is Greek túrris, a word probably from a pre-Indo- European language of the Mediterranean region. It passed into English via Latin turris and Old French tur, tor. Turret [14] comes from the Old French diminutive turet.
=> turret

tower (v.)

c. 1400, "rise high" (implied in towered); see tower (n.). Also, of hawks, "to fly high so as to swoop down on prey" (1590s). Related: Towering.

tower (n.1)

Old English torr "tower, watchtower," from Latin turris "a tower, citadel, high structure" (also source of Old French tor, 11c.; Spanish, Italian torre "tower"), possibly from a pre-Indo-European Mediterranean language. Meaning "lofty pile or mass" is recorded from mid-14c. Also borrowed separately 13c. as tour, from Old French tur; the modern spelling (1520s) represents a merger of the two forms.

tower (n.2)

"one who tows," 1610s, agent noun from tow (v.).
