词源

Inherited from Middle English turbarie (“place where peat is dug, peat bog; substance obtained from such a place, peat”), from Anglo-Norman turbarie, turberie, and Old French torberie, tourbarie, turbarie, from Medieval Latin turbāria, from turba (“turf”) (whence Old French tourbe) + Latin -āria (suffix forming abstract nouns). Turba is derived from Proto-West Germanic *turb (“peat; turf”); from Proto-Germanic *turbz (“peat; turf”), from Proto-Indo-European *derbʰ- (“grass; tuft”). Doublet of turf.
