Pronounced as (IPA)

/toɾˈmenta/

Etymology

Cognate with Portuguese: tormenta

Cognate with French: tourmente

In summary

From Latin tormenta, plural of tormentum. The lack of a diphthong may be explained by influence from the learned borrowing tormento, or because it may have been a nautical loan from another language such as Portuguese tormenta, or possibly Old French (cf. modern French tourmente).
