The word "turnout" combines "turn" (from Old English tyrnan, meaning "to rotate or change direction") and "out" (from Old English ūt, meaning "external" or "away"). Originally used in the 18th century to describe the act of turning outward (e.g., a road widening), it later evolved to signify "production output" (19th century) and "attendance at an event" (20th century). The clothing sense derives from the idea of "equipping" or "presenting oneself outwardly."
