Meaning "to make (steel) hard and elastic" is from late 14c. Sense of "to tune the pitch of a musical instrument" is recorded from c.1300. Related: Tempered; tempering.
n.
late 14c., "due proportion of elements or qualities," from temper, v.. The sense of "characteristic state of mind, inclination, disposition" is first recorded 1590s; that of "calm state of mind, tranquility" in c.1600; and that of "angry state of mind" (for bad temper) in 1828. Meaning "degree of hardness and resiliency in steel" is from late 15c.

词根:temper = moderate, mix, strecth 节制, 调节, 混合

  来自拉丁语的temperare 意为moderate,strecth。词根tempor为temper的变体;有反义词根:clar使…清晰明了,来源于拉丁语 clarare。

  (*拉丁文temperare (=to moderate,to regulate,to qualify),和拉丁文tempus(=time)有关,原为“合于时间的”。——英文字根字典)
