The word templar as used in anatomy has a separate etymology from the word temple, meaning place of worship. Both come from Latin, but the word for the place of worship comes from templum, whereas the word for the part of the head comes from Vulgar Latin*tempula, modified from tempora, plural form (both temples) of tempus, a word that meant both time and the part of the head. Due to the common source with the word for time, the adjective for both is temporal (both pertaining to time and pertaining to the anatomical temple).Regarding the temporalis muscle: in English, this muscle’s name is the time muscle. The word temporalis comes from the Latin word tempus meaning “time.” The muscle covers the temporal bone, or time bone, which received its name because the hair of the head covering this bone is often the first hair to turn gray during the aging process. Therefore, this region is the first to show the effects of aging.
