Etymology
In summary
From alteration, with influence from turbio, of Old Spanish turbón (now dialectal), from Vulgar Latin *turbōnem (“whirlwind”), accusative of Latin turbinem, with altered declension. Compare Portuguese trovão (“thunder”), Galician trebón, torbón (“thunderstorm, downpour”). Doublet of turbina, from ultimately the same Latin root, through French.
