Etymology

From earlier (tôbân), from Middle Persian, Lurish تمو (temo). Akin to Arabic تُبَّان (tubbān) from the same. Borrowed early into Turkic, Ottoman Turkish طومان (tuman), Azerbaijani tuman. Ultimately derived as equivalent to (tan, “body”) +‎ (-bân, “-keeper”) – similar to (tanura, “cuirass, corselet; a part of dress worn by dervishes from their middle”), better known as Arabic تَنُّورَة (tannūra), with a different suffix.
