Templates are used in many jobs and industries, and they are patterns.
In the case of a word processor template it is a document that has had certain text and images (for example a company logo and the company's name and address) put in place, to avoid the need for inserting them afresh each time

A template is a form, mold, or pattern used as a guide to making something.
Here are some examples:

Template class: A generic definition or a parametrized class not instantiated until the client provides the needed information. It?s jargon for plain templates. Class template: A class template specifies how individual classes can be constructed much like the way a class specifies how individual objects can be constructed. It?s jargon for plain classes. Class template is a template used to generate template classes. We cannot declare an object of a class template. Template class is an instance of a class template.
The only reason to overload a template function is to provide an overload that differs in the number and type of arguments that cannot be addressed by the template function alone. You simply declare them as you would any other overload. The overloads may themselves be template functions, but there must be no ambiguity: every template function must generate an unique function signature. Remember that template functions generate overloads at compile time on an as-required basis.
No, because C does not support the concept of template functions. Template functions only exist in C++, never in C.
The c language does not have template functions. That is a c++ thing.
A Template in OO system refers to a skeleton or a framework or base pattern based on which further development is taken up.
