The common Dakhma originally denoted any place of the dead.The term Tower of silence is  NEOLOGISM attributed to Robert Murphy who, in 1832, was a translator of British colonial Government in India.

Zoroastrians Tradition considers a dead body, in addition to cut hair and nail parings, to be unclean.
Specially, the corpse demon was believed to rush into the body and contaminate everything it came into contact with , hence the Vendidad has rules for disposing of the dead as safely as possible.

To preclude the pollution of earth or fire, the bodies of the dead are placed atop a tower and so exposed to the sun and to birds of prey. Thus, "putrefaction with all its concomitant evils is most effectually prevented".

The scariest and hair raising haunted stories owe their origins to the Tower of silence. The Zoroastrian connotation of leaving their dead out in the open comes from their belief of keeping, the environment clean and uncontaminated  by a dead body.
They believe that earth and fire are polluted by a dead body, and hence a dead body is left for putrefaction in the open air on these tower of silence. This enigmatic ritual makes the Tower of  Silence a dreadful destination.
