Etymology of UPTURN

The word "upturn" originated from the combination of two words: "up" and "turn".

The word "up" is derived from the Old English word "ūp", which has Indo-European roots. It has been used in English since the 9th century and has a range of meanings related to direction, position, or height, including the notion of moving or looking toward a higher position.

The word "turn" has its roots in the Old English word "turnian", which means to "turn around" or "rotate". It comes from the Proto-Germanic word "turnijaną" which means "to turn".

When these two words are combined to form "upturn", it refers to the action or process of turning or rotating upwards. In a figurative sense, an "upturn" can also refer to an improvement, growth, or positive change in a situation or trend.
