The answer
TEMPO
What tempo means
The speed or pace at which a piece of music is played, typically measured in beats per minute.
Where the word comes from
From Italian *tempo*, meaning "time" or "the rate of musical movement," derived from Latin *tempus*, which meant "time," "season," or "a portion of time." The Latin word is of uncertain ultimate origin, though it may be connected to Proto-Indo-European roots relating to stretching or extending. English borrowed the term directly from Italian in the 16th century, particularly in musical contexts.
