turband (plural turbands)
- Archaic form of turban.
- 1885, Edward Balfour, The Cyclopædia of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia:
- Turband pieces in cotton, silk, cotton and gold, and silk and gold, are those usually manufactured.
- 1885, Richard F. Burton, chapter XXV, in The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night, volume I, The Burton Club, page 259 footnote:
- This is still a popular form of the "Kinchin lay", and as the turbands are often of fine stuff, the petite industrie pays well.
