Origin Old English templ, tempel, reinforced in Middle English by Old French temple, both from Latin templum 'open or consecrated space'. Temple comes from Latin templum ‘open or consecrated space’. The temple which is part of your forehead is a different word, going back to Latin tempus, whose main meaning was ‘time’. Tempus is the source of several words in English, such as contemporary (mid 17th century) ‘of a time with’, grammatical tense (Middle English), and temporary (mid 16th century). Tempo (early 18th century), which came to English from Italian, is now a musical term, but in the 17th century was used in fencing for the timing of an attack. Tempest (Middle English) also goes back to tempus, via Latin tempestas ‘season, weather, storm’.
