temporary 英文词源
- temporary
- temporary: [16] Temporary was adapted from Latin temporārius, a derivative of tempus ‘time’. The origins of this are not certain, but it could go back ultimately to the prehistoric base *ten- ‘stretch’ (source of English tend, tense, thin, etc), in which case it would denote etymologically a ‘stretch of time’. Other English derivatives include extempore, tempest, temple ‘side of the head’, tempo [18] (via Italian), temporal [14], and tense ‘verb category’.
=> extempore, tempest, temple, tempo, tense - temporary (adj.)
- "lasting only for a time," 1540s, from Latin temporarius "of seasonal character, lasting a short time," from tempus (genitive temporis) "time, season" (see temporal, late 14c., which was the earlier word for "lasting but for a time"). The noun meaning "person employed only for a time" is recorded from 1848. Related: Temporarily; temporariness.
