early 16th century: of unknown origin.
wiktionary
Unknown origin. Perhaps from Old French tremouille(“the hopper of a mill”).
etymonline
turmoil (n.)
1520s, of uncertain origin, perhaps an alteration of French tremouille "mill hopper," in reference to the hopper's constant motion to and fro, from Latin trimodia "vessel containing three modii," from modius, a Roman dry measure, related to modus "measure." Attested earlier in English as a verb (1510s), though this now is obsolete.
