Etymology

From Middle English terne, tarne (“lake; pond, pool”), from Old Norse tj?rn (“a small lake without tributaries”), from Proto-Germanic *tern? (“water hole”), perhaps related to *turnaz (“bitter, embittered”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *der- (“to separate, split; to crack, shatter”). The word is cognate with Danish tjern, Faroese tjørn (“pond”), Icelandic tjörn (“pond”), Norwegian Bokmål tjern (“small forest or mountain lake”) (Norwegian Nynorsk tjern, tjørn), Swedish tjärn (“small forest lake”).

Pronunciation

• (Received Pronunciation) IPA^(key): /t??n/
