The word "tour" originates from the Old French torner (to turn), derived from Latin tornare (to turn on a lathe), which itself comes from Greek tornos (lathe, tool for drawing circles). The sense evolved from "circular movement" to "a journey with a return to the starting point," reflecting the idea of a planned circuit or round trip. By the 17th century, it specifically denoted leisurely travel.
