Definition tarn

Etymology

From Middle English terne, tarne (“lake; pond, pool”), from Old Norse tj?rn (“a small lake without tributaries”), from Proto-Germanic *tern?

The word is cognate with Danish tjern, Faroese tjørn (“pond”), Icelandic tjörn (“pond”), Norwegian Bokmål tjern (“small forest or mountain lake”) (Norwegian Nynorsk tjern, tjørn), Swedish tjärn (“small forest lake”).
