Where does “temperance” come from?

Temperance comes from Old French temperance, from Latin temperantia (self-restraint), derived from Latin temperans (tempering, moderating), the present participle of Latin temperare (to mix in proper proportions, regulate), from Latin tempus (time, season), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European temp- (to stretch, extend).

temperance (English): Habitual moderation in regard to the indulgence...
