語源

Probably from the iterative or frequentative suffix -tō attached to a base derived somehow from *ten- (“to stretch”). There is disagreement about the details: Lewis and Short derive it from tendō (“stretch, stretch out, extend”) (supine tentum) without explaining the origin of the version spelled with -mpt-, whereas De Vaan derives it from the hypothetical perfect passive participle *t(e)mpto- of an unattested verb meaning 'to touch, feel' built on Proto-Indo-European *temp-, which can be interpreted as an extended form of *ten- (compare tempus, templum). Compare pedetemptim and its variant pedetentim.
