Where this word comes from
Of uncertain origin. One theory which links the term to Proto-Indo-European *temH- (“dark”) (for which compare tenebrae, tēmulentus) is semantically reasonable, but phonetically difficult. Compare Sanskrit तिम्यति (timyati, “to be quiet; to become quiet”), with matching conjugation and verb-of-fearing semantics (i.e. "is/becomes quiet" in place of usual "makes quiet").
