Etymology
Alteration of templet, probably from French templet, diminutive of temple (“a weaver's stretcher”), variant of tempe, from Latin tempora (“temple”). Alteration of second syllable due to analogy with plate. Cognate with Faroese tamba (“to stretch out, relax”), Icelandic þamb (“a stretched, bloated, or extended belly”).

Classically, the functional product of coding genes is a protein whose synthesis is directed by an mRNA-template.
2002, S. Lottin et al., “Thioredoxin post-transcriptional regulation by H19 provides a new function to mRNA-like non-coding RNA”, in Nature, volume 21, number 10:
- (qualifier:object-oriented programming) A partially defined class or function, that can be instantiated in a variety of ways depending on the instantiation arguments.
- A strip of metal used in boiler-making, pierced with a series of holes, and serving as a guide in marking out a line of rivet-holes.
-
