temperancen.

/ˈtɛmpərəns/

Forms: Also Middle English temperans, Middle English–1500s temperaunce, 1500s temperanse; (Middle English–1500s temporaunce, 1600s temporance).

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman temperaunce (R. Grosseteste a1250), < Latin temperāntia moderation, < temperānt-em , present participle of temperāre to temper v. As to previous history, see Note below.a1250 R. Grosseteste Château d'Amour in Godef. Compl. C'est force et temperaunce.Note. Latin temperantia (whence French and English temperance ) was used by Cicero to render Plato's σωϕροσύνη ‘soundmindedness, prudence, moderation, sobriety, self-control’, in Plato and in the Stoics, one of the original four (cardinal) virtues, ϕρόνησις , δικαιοσύνη , ἀνδρεία , σωϕροσύνη , rendered in Latin by Jerome and Augustine prudentia , iustitia , fortitudo , temperantia ; also in Albertus Magnus, Aquinas, and the mediæval writers generally, and in the medieval Latin version of Aristotle's Nicom. Ethics. Thence the use of temperaunce by Grosseteste, and the earlier English use. But temperantia was not originally a Christian word: it occurs nowhere in the Vulgate or the Antiqua; it is not one of the ‘fruits of the Spirit’, even in the expanded list in the Vulgate, in Galatians v. 23 By Wyclif, however, temperaunce was used to render Latin modestia ‘moderation’, in the Rhemish, modestie . In the English versions from Tyndale onward, temperance or temperancie , renders Greek ἐγκράτεια ‘self-mastery or restraint, esp. of certain sensual impulses’, in Latin commonly continentia . In Acts xxiv. 25 Tyndale, Cranmer, Geneva, 1611, and Revised have temperance , where Vulgate has castitate , Wyclif, Coverdale, Rhemish chastite , -tie . In 2 Peter i. 6 (bis) Tyndale and Coverdale have temperancy , Cranmer, Geneva, etc., temperaunce , -ance ; Vulgate abstinentia , Wyclif and Rhemish absty- , abstinence . In Galatians v. 22, Tyndale, Cranmer, Geneva, have temperancy(e , -ie , Coverdale, 1611, Revised, tempera(u)nce ; Vulgate (which interpolates 3 additional ‘fruits of the spirit’), continentia , Wyclif and Rhemish, contynaunce , continencie . Of the English senses above, 1a corresponds to the Latin temperantia , Greek σωϕροσύνη ; 1b in general to Greek ἐγκράτεια , of which sense 2 may be considered a specialized use.

I. Senses relating to self-restraint.

1. The practice or habit of restraining oneself in provocation, passion, desire, etc.; rational self-restraint. (One of the four cardinal virtues.)

a. Self-restraint and moderation in action of any kind, in the expression of opinion, etc.; suppression of any tendency to passionate action; in early use, esp. self-control, restraint, or forbearance, when provoked to anger or impatience.
