Computer science and information technology

Etymology

Alteration of templet, probably from French templet, diminutive of temple ‎(“a weaver's stretcher”), from Latin templum ‎(“a small timber, tie-beam, a purlin”), from Proto-Indo-European *temp- ‎(“to pull, stretch”). Alteration of second syllable due to analogy with plate. Cognate with Faroese tamba ‎(“to stretch out, relax”), Icelandic þamb ‎(“a stretched, bloated, or extended belly”).
