Etymology[edit]

Uncertain. Possibilities include:

  1. Borrowed from Vulgar Latin *utrīnum, a derivation from uter (leathern bottle).[1][2]
  2. A metathesised derivation from South Slavic, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *rъtъ (beak; mouth), whence also Romanian rât (snout).[1]
  3. A derivation from Proto-Indo-European *ter- (tender, young), hence akin to tru (brain).[3]

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

turi m (plural turinj, definite turiri)

  1. muzzle (of animals)
  2. snout (of pigs); trunk (of elephants)
  3. (derogatory) mug, face (of humans)
    Synonym: surrat
  4. front, protruding part of a car (Is there an English equivalent to this definition?)
