Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of the Old English 'bæd' (wicked, faulty) and the Middle English 'temper' from the Latin 'temperare' (to moderate, blend), originally referring to a bodily balance of humors. Over time, 'temper' evolved to mean a person's state of mind, and 'bad temper' became the standard idiom for irritable or angry dispositions.
