Romanian borrowed "tur" from French "tour", meaning a trip around a place or a circuit. French "tour" in turn goes back to Latin "tornus", a turner's tool, itself from Greek. The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French loanwords tied to modern travel, sport, and politics.
