means A contest or tournament, especially the medieval kind with knights, lances, and a lot of falling off horses.

from A clipped form of 'tournament,' both tracing back to Old French 'tornei,' from 'tourner' meaning 'to turn' — rooted in the way jousting knights wheeled their horses around in combat. The short form 'tourney' has existed alongside the longer word for centuries, eventually settling into its own niche, especially in sports and games, while 'tournament' kept the formal, everyday crown.
