[Temperature - also temperament in the early days - measures hot and cold and the word is, of course, Latin in origin: temperare - to mix. It was mostly used when liquids are mixed which cannot afterwards be separated, like wine and water. The passive voice is employed - the “-tur” of the present tense, third person singular - which indicates that some liquid is being mixed with another one.]
