Extemporal

/ɛkˈstɛmpərəl/ adjective

Definition

Done or spoken without preparation or planning ahead of time; improvised.

Etymology

From Latin 'ex' (out of) and 'tempus' (time), literally meaning 'out of time.' The word entered English in the 16th century to describe something done without prior arrangement or practice.

Kelly Says

Musicians and comedians rely on being extemporal—their ability to create something brilliant in the moment without a script is what makes live performances magical and unpredictable.
