Proto-Italic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *temp- (“to stretch, string”), whence also templum (“shrine”). Originally the word meant "what is stretched, stretching" → "stretch (of time)" → "time, occasion".
Or from Proto-Indo-European *temh₂- (“to cut”). Thus a section (of time). See also Latin temnō, tondeō, templum, Ancient Greek τέμνω (témnō). Compare the etymology of English time.
- Note that as indicated by the adverb temperī the noun would originally have declined like genus.
