There is a Latin word 'thema' meaning a subject or a thesis. The same word in Greek is a proposition or a subject as in 'something set down'. This word was adopted into the French language in the 13th Century and changed to 'temse. (the 's' may well have been silent.) The word then passed into general European usage, adopting the local language variations
