Portuguese missionaries (and there were many of them in Japan) called the time of fasting, when it was possible to eat vegetables and fish "quatuor anni tempora", i.e. "four seasons". Fish is often cooked in batter and the word "tempora" is gradually moved to the Japanese language, which has come to mean the cooking method.
