Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *tūną (“fence, enclosure”), from Gaulish *dūnon, from Proto-Celtic *dūnom (“stronghold”). Cognate with Old English tūn, Old Frisian tūn, Old Saxon tūn, Old High German zūn. See also Proto-Slavic *tynъ (“fence”), which is a borrowing from the Proto-Germanic word. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewh₂- (“to finish, come full circle”).
