覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
ここでの temp は temperature「温度」を短くしたくだけた名詞です。room temp（室温）、oven temp（オーブン温度）、water temp（水温）のように、表示・メモ・会話で名詞の前後に置かれます。正式な文書では temperature を選びましょう。なお、同じ temp でも temporary worker「臨時職員」の略なら人を指すため、文脈で区別します。
Treat temp here as the clipped, informal form of temperature. The shared first syllable makes the connection visible, and common combinations show the intended meaning: room temp, oven temp, water temp, and body temp. It is especially natural in conversation, recipes, notes, controls, and compact displays, while temperature is normally better in formal prose. Context matters because temp has another common meaning: a temporary worker. Numbers in degrees and words such as room, oven, or water signal that temp means temperature.
例文
The temp in the room is 22 degrees.
部屋の温度は22度です。
Please check the oven temp before baking.
焼く前にオーブンの温度を確認してください。
The water temp is too low for swimming.
水温が低すぎて泳げません。

temp の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 temperatura（適度な混合）の短縮形で、語根は temperāre（調節する・混ぜ合わせる）。関連語: temperature（温度）、temper（気質・調節する）。元は「程よく混ぜ合わせた状態」を指し、そこから熱の度合いを測る意味に転じた。
In this sense, temp is a modern shortening of temperature. Temperature entered English from Latin temperatura, “a proper mixture or moderation,” which came from temperāre, “to mix in due proportion or regulate.” The word later developed its scientific sense of a measurable degree of heat. Related words such as temper retain ideas of regulation or condition, though their present meanings have developed in different directions.
