tamperv.¹

Brit.

/ˈtampə/, U.S.

/ˈtæmpər/

Forms: Also Middle English–1600s temper.

Etymology: Before 1600 mostly spelt temper , and apparently originating in temper v., as used in reference to clay. The transitive use to temper clay appears to have become absol. to temper , and then intransitive to temper in clay ; hence figuratively to temper or tamper in or with any business or matter. Tamper , which appears in reference to clay in 1573, was probably a dialect or workmen's pronunciation, which became at length established, so as to differentiate this verb from temper v.For a development of sense very similar to that shown in temper and tamper , compare meddle v.
