- 1即席(的/地)(書面、偏英式;口語較常說即興、即席)
Extempore means the same broad thing as extemporaneous: without a prepared script, out of the moment. It is shorter, older, and more . It works two ways, which is easy to miss. As an adjective: an extempore speech. As an adverb: he spoke extempore. British and literary English keep it more than American everyday speech, which prefers extemporaneous or the plainer impromptu. Though actually, it is not a fancy extra sense — it is the same Latin phrase, just left in a tighter English shape. You will meet it in older books, exam passages, and formal notices more than in chat. The loud part of the word is TEMP.
組成Latin ex tempore (“out of the moment”) joined into one English word. First attested before 1556, as both adjective and adverb.
