Etymology

1. Term of uncertain origin, with no parallels in other Italic languages.
2. # Possibly a derivation from Proto-Indo-European *temp- (“to stretch, pull”), whence Latvian tempt (“to pull, stretch”), Old Norse þǫmb (“bow”), and further possibly Proto-Slavic *tętivà (“bowstring”), Old Armenian թամբ (tʻamb, “saddle”). Assuming a shift from “to stretch” to “to measure”, meant as the calculation of the aruspices. Compare also extempulō and more distantly tempus, tendō.
3. # Parallel formation to Ancient Greek τέμενος (témenos, “sacred enclosure”), reflecting Proto-Indo-European *témh₁-lom, from *temh₁- (“to cut”). The -p- would hence be epenthetic as in exemplum. Further related to temnō, tondeō. See: Ancient Greek Nouns 'τέμενος'.
