Etymology: "Extemporisers" is the plural of "extemporiser," a noun for people who speak or perform without preparation. The noun is built from the verb "extemporise," with the suffix "-er" added to mean one who does the action. The verb itself comes from the Latin phrase "ex tempore," meaning "from the time" or "on the spur of the moment," which gives the sense of improvising in the moment rather than working from notes.
Synonyms: improvisers, ad-libbers, spontaneous speakers
