Etymologies

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition

[Probably from French templet, diminutive of temple, temple of a loom; see temple.]

from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License

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").
