tempus
This word is outside the curated dossier collection. Here is the dictionary’s etymology, with its language and revision preserved. These claims have not yet passed *SET-U’s graph review.
Borrowed from Latin tempus , from Proto-Italic * tempos .
From Proto-Italic * tempos ; thence, two ultimate origins have been proposed:
Sense 2 is a semantic loan from Ancient Greek τὰ καίρῐᾰ ( tà kaírĭă , “ the vital or fatal place (on the body) ” ) , from καιρός ( kairós , “ time, opportunity, etc. ” ) , and is less frequent in singular form. Compare Old English þunwange ( “ temple of the head ” ) , Middle High German tinne , tinge ( “ forehead, temples ” ) .
As seen from the adverb temperī , the noun would originally have declined like genus .
From Latin tempus ( “ time ” ) . Doublet of tempo .
