Definition tun

Etymology 1

From Middle English tunne, tonne (�cask, barrel�), from Old English tunne (�tun, cask, barrel�), from Proto-Germanic *tunn?, *tunn? (�tun, barrel, cask�), of unknown origin. Cognate with North Frisian tenn (�tun, barrel, cask�), Dutch ton (�tun, barrel, cask�), German Tonne (�tun, barrel, drum�), Danish t�nde (�barrel�), Swedish tunna (�barrel, cask, tun�), Icelandic tunna (�barrel�). Compare also Old French tonne, French tonneau (�ton, barrel�), Medieval Latin tunna (�cask�), Middle Irish tunna (�cask�), Welsh tynell (�tun, barrel�). It is uncertain whether the Germanic or the Celtic forms are the original.
