"Turm" meaning in German

See Turm in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /tʊʁm/ Audio: De-Turm.ogg
Rhymes: -ʊʁm Etymology: From Middle High German turm, an East Central German variant of turn, from Old High German turn, from Old French *torn (cf. the diminutive tornele), variant of tor, from Latin turris. From the same Old French source are Dutch toren, Low German Toorn. The final -m is probably due to sporadic dissimilation; a connection with the Latin accusative turrim (as sometimes conjectured) is unlikely.
