touring
UK: ˈtʊərɪŋ | US: ˈtʊrɪŋ
n. the activity of traveling for pleasure, especially to visit different places
v. present participle of "tour" (to travel from place to place, typically for performance or exploration)
The word "touring" derives from the Old French "tour" (meaning "a turn" or "circuit"), which traces back to the Latin "tornare" (to turn on a lathe). By the 14th century, "tour" evolved to signify a planned journey, reflecting the circular route travelers often took. The suffix "-ing" marks its verbal noun or continuous action form, solidifying its modern sense of leisurely or performance-based travel.
