"极端冒险、鲁莽、鲁莽行为",14世纪晚期,源自拉丁语 temeritatem(主格 temeritas)"盲目的机会、意外; 鲁莽、不慎重、鲁莽行为",源自 temere "偶然地、随意地; 不慎重地、鲁莽地、鲁莽地"; 可能在词源上是"盲目地",源自 PIE 词根 *temsro- "黑暗"(形容词),也是梵语 tamisra- "黑夜", tamsrah "黑暗"; 阿维斯塔语 temah "黑暗"; 中波斯语 tar "黑暗", tarig "黑暗"; 立陶宛语 tamsa "黑暗", tamsus "黑暗"; 古教会斯拉夫语 tima "黑暗"; 古高地德语 dinstar "黑暗", demar "黄昏"; 古爱尔兰语 temel "黑暗"。
联系的概念将是"盲目地,在黑暗中",因此是"没有预见"。比较拉丁语 tenebrio "不诚实的人",显然是"在黑暗中操作的人"(见 tenebrous)。
Middle English temeryte, borrowed from Latin temeritāt- temeritās, from temere "blindly, recklessly, haphazardly" + -itāt- -itās -ity; temere going back to adverbialized locative singular of a noun *temes- "darkness," going back to Indo-European *temH-es-, whence also Sanskrit tamas- "darkness, gloom," Avestan tǝmah-, and, from the base *temH-, Lithuanian témsta, témti "to become dark," tamsà "darkness," tim͂sras "dark red (of a horse), sorrel," Old Church Slavic tĭma "darkness," tĭmĭnŭ "dark, gloomy," and from a *-ro- adjectival derivative Sanskrit tamra- "darkening, oppressive," Germanic *þemra- "darkness," whence Old High German demar "dusk, twilight" Note: See also tenebrae.
