Etymology
Tuning also means a particular way of arranging pitch and comes from the same root tonos, the source of English tone, which meant 'stretch' or 'tone'. Different tunings are simply different ways of stretching or setting strings and notes to make a special sound, which is why the word names that exact arrangement of pitch.
