Etymology

Borrowed from Latin torrentem, accusative form of torrēns (“rushing”, “torrential”) (originally “scorching", then "powerful", "strengthful", "forceful"), present active participle of torreō (“to scorch, burn, parch”), from Proto-Italic *torzeō, causative of the Proto-Indo-European root *ters- (“dry”).

Sentences
