Etymology

From Old Spanish temprar, tenprar, from Latin temper?re, present active infinitive of temper?; the -l- in the modern Spanish word was a result of hypercorrection of a popular tendency to use -pr- in place of -pl- in many medieval Ibero-Romance languages (something which persisted in Portuguese, cf. praça, prato). Doublet of temperar, a borrowing.

templar (first-person singular present templo or (in some parts of Latin America) tiemplo, first-person singular preterite templé, past participle templado)
