Etymology

The word 'tempter' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old French term 'temptour', which in turn comes from the Latin 'temptator', meaning 'one who tempts'. The concept of a tempter, a being or force that leads others into temptation or tests their faith, has been a part of human mythology and religious beliefs for centuries. The idea of temptation and the struggle to resist it is a recurring theme in literature, art, and religious texts.
