Question

intemperate Lovers of fine wines and scotches are almost never intemperate drinkers. ˌɪnˈtɛmpərət

Accepted Answer

Not moderate or mild; excessive, extreme. Since the prefix in- generally means “not,” intemperate is the opposite of temperate. Someone intemperate rejects moderation in favor of excess. A religious fanatic is likely to preach with intemperate zeal, and a mean theater critic may become intemperate in her criticism of a new play, filling her review with intemperate language. And both temperate and intemperate also often refer to weather; a region with an intemperate climate isn't where all of us would choose to build a house
