the word 'temperamentally' has its roots in the latin verb 'temperare', meaning to mix, combine, or regulate to achieve a proper proportion. this gave rise to the noun 'temperamentum', which in ancient and medieval physiology referred to the particular mixture of the four bodily humors (blood, phlegm, choler, and melancholy) believed to determine a person's nature. the english word 'temperament' evolved from this to denote a person's innate character or emotional disposition. by adding the adjectival suffix '-al' and then the adverbial '-ly', the word builds logically from the core concept of one's inherent nature to describe an action performed in a manner consistent with that nature.
