Etymology

From Old Spanish temprar, tenprar, from Latin temperāre, present active infinitive of temperō; 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)^[1]. Doublet of temperar, a borrowing.
