- The word tiempo shares a deep ancestral root with the English word 'temperature', both descending from the Proto-Indo-European root *temp- meaning 'to stretch'.
- The word tiempo is used for both 'time' as a measurement and 'weather'. In some contexts, a 'time tracker' could be misinterpreted as a weather tracker.
