Maybe that's how the Portuguese pronounced it. ]

Tempura was introduced to Japan in the mid-sixteenth century by early Portuguese visitors.[1] The word tempura may be derived from the Portuguese noun tempero, meaning a condiment or seasoning, or from the verb temperar, meaning "to season".[1][2] There is still today a dish in Portugal very similar to tempura called peixinhos da horta, "garden fishies". An alternative explanation for the word is that it is derived from 'tempora', a Latin word meaning "times", "time period" used by either Spanish and/or Portuguese missionaries to refer to the Lenten period (ad tempora quadragesimae) where they could not eat meat.[3]
