tureen: [18] Tureen and terrine are ultimately the same word. Both were borrowed simultaneously from French terrine ‘deep earthenware dish’ in the early 18th century, since when in its original sense ‘dish’ it has been contorted to tureen (perhaps partly through some association with Turin) and applied specifically to a ‘soup dish’, while in the extended sense ‘paté-like dish made in a terrine’ it has remained as terrine. The French word originated as a noun use of the feminine form of Old French terrin ‘earthen’, which went back ultimately to Latin terra ‘earth’ (source of English terrace, terrain, etc). => terrine
1706, from French terrine "earthen vessel," from Old French therine (15c.), noun use of fem. of terrin (adj.) "earthen," from Gallo-Roman *terrinus, from Latin terrenus "of the earth" (see terrain).
