"tempus" meaning in Latin

See tempus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈtem.pus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈt̪ɛmpʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈtem.pus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt̪ɛmpus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *tempos. Two ultimate roots/origins have been proposed: * From Proto-Indo-European *tempos (“stretch”), from the extension *temp- of the root *ten- (“to stretch, string”), with meaning development "what is stretched, stretching" → "stretch (of time)" → "time, occasion". * From Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (“to cut”), thus "a section (of time)", this root also giving Latin temnō, tondeō, Ancient Greek τέμνω (témnō); compare the etymology of English time. templum is a possible cognate that has also been assigned to both roots. 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 þunwang (“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.

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Italic *tempos. Two ultimate roots/origins have been proposed:\n* From Proto-Indo-European *tempos (“stretch”), from the extension *temp- of the root *ten- (“to stretch, string”), with meaning development \"what is stretched, stretching\" → \"stretch (of time)\" → \"time, occasion\".\n* From Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (“to cut”), thus \"a section (of time)\", this root also giving Latin temnō, tondeō, Ancient Greek τέμνω (témnō); compare the etymology of English time. templum is a possible cognate that has also been assigned to both roots.\nSense 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 þunwang (“temple of the head”), Middle High German tinne, tinge (“forehead, temples”).\nAs seen from the adverb temperī, the noun would originally have declined like genus.",

  "etymology_text": "From Proto-Italic *tempos. Two ultimate roots/origins have been proposed:\n* From Proto-Indo-European *tempos (“stretch”), from the extension *temp- of the root *ten- (“to stretch, string”), with meaning development \"what is stretched, stretching\" → \"stretch (of time)\" → \"time, occasion\".\n* From Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (“to cut”), thus \"a section (of time)\", this root also giving Latin temnō, tondeō, Ancient Greek τέμνω (témnō); compare the etymology of English time. templum is a possible cognate that has also been assigned to both roots.\nSense 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 þunwang (“temple of the head”), Middle High German tinne, tinge (“forehead, temples”).\nAs seen from the adverb temperī, the noun would originally have declined like genus.",
