Etymology

edit

From Ancient Greek τόρμος (tórmos, socket into which a pin or peg is inserted), See Russian etymological dictionary—Terence R. Wade, Terence Leslie Brian Wade.

Oleg Trubachev thinks Greek origin is unlikely. Nikolai Dmitriev suggests adoption from Turkic turmaz ("not stoppable" or "pad for the wheel of waggon"). See «Лексикографический сборник», 3, 1958, p. 45
