Temple - side of the head - origin:This word has its immediate origin from Old French 'temple' meaning 'side of forehead', which has come from Roman 'tempula', from Latin 'tempus', side of forehead ('tempora', plural, sides of forehead).The word temple for place of worship came from Latin 'templum'It has been suggested the Latin 'tempus', in the sense of 'time', had referred to the 'right place' as in the place to aim the fatal blow of a sword, and that this in turn is linked to the description of 'time' - 'temporal', possibly in connection with the temple pulse, the only human pulse easily visible and apparent to the observer.This makes such neat sense that it sounds a possible candidate for etymology in hindsight.
