Etymology

edit

From Ottoman Turkish ترسانه (tersane), from Ligurian tersaná, from Arabic دَار اَلصِّنَاعَة (dār aṣ-ṣināʕa, industry house). Cognate with Italian darsena and Spanish dársena and more distantly with English arsenal. The Turkish borrowing sometimes mutates to tershane under the influence of hane (house), which is found as a suffix in many words.
