Origin of the word temporal

The word "temporal" originally comes from the Latin word "temporalis," which means "relating to time" or "of or belonging to a specific time." In English, it first appeared in the 1400s, initially used as an adjective describing things related to time, such as temporal things (as opposed to spiritual or eternal things). Its usage gradually expanded to refer to things that are related to or bound by time, such as temporal events or temporal boundaries. In a broader sense, the term "temporal" is used to indicate something related to human affairs or the world of time, as opposed to divine, spiritual, or eternal matters.
