大约在1200年,用于指魔鬼、肉体等,“引诱或诱使某人犯罪或恶行,引诱(某人)违背上帝的法律; 具有诱人或诱惑性质”,源自古法语 tempter(12世纪),源自拉丁语 temptare “感觉,尝试,试图影响,测试”,是 tentare “处理,触摸,尝试,测试”的变体。拉丁语的变化“只能解释为古代由于某些混淆而产生的错误”[世纪词典]。从14世纪后期开始,指“挑衅,违抗”(上帝、命运等)。相关词汇: Tempted; tempting。

挑引
Middle English tempten "to test, incite to sin, attempt," borrowed from Anglo-French tempter, temter, tenter, going back to Latin temptāre, tentāre "to feel, test, examine, attempt, make an assault on, attack" (Late Latin, "to incite to sin"), perhaps frequentative derivative from an Indo-European verbal base *temp- "stretch, extend" (hence, "grope for, feel") — more at tempo
The first known use of tempt was in the 13th century
