Etymology
The French noun *tempête* comes from Old French *tempête*, which in turn was borrowed from Latin *tempestas* “storm, tempest.” Latin *tempestas* was derived from *tempus* “time,” reflecting the idea of a storm occurring at a particular season or time of year. The word entered French in the Middle Ages, first referring to natural weather disturbances and later extending metaphorically to any violent or angry outburst.
