Etymology
Temut is the past participle of the verb a (se) teme, meaning to fear or be afraid, used here as an adjective. The verb descends from Latin timere, which had the same meaning. The origin of Latin timere itself is not firmly established, so no reliable Proto-Indo-European root can be given.
