Temporarily

Definition

For a limited period of time; not permanently but lasting for a while.

Etymology

From Latin 'temporarius,' meaning 'of time' or 'lasting for a time,' derived from 'tempus' (time). It entered English in the 16th century, emphasizing the bounded, non-permanent nature of duration.

Kelly Says

The word 'temporarily' contains within it the promise of change - it's inherently forward-looking, suggesting that the current state will give way to something different. This makes it psychologically comforting when describing unpleasant situations and appropriately cautious when describing pleasant ones.
