Forms: Also 1500s–1600s tourne, turne, 1500s–1700s torn, 1500s–1800s turn, 1600s–1700s torne.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman tourn, to turn out 8b at turn v. Phrasal verbs 1 of action < tourner to turn, go round; in medieval Latin turnus. In the ordinary senses the noun and verb have become turn; but in this historical sense the Anglo-Norman spelling is usually retained, though Pollock and Maitland prefer to call it ‘the sheriff's turn’.
