Etymology
The word 'turntable' originated in the late 19th century, combining 'turn' and 'table'. It initially referred to a revolving or rotating platform and later became associated with music playback devices, especially vinyl record players. Turntables have evolved over the years from mechanical crank-operated devices to modern electronic versions used by DJs and audiophiles.
