the word 'temporarily' is built upon the latin root 'tempus, tempor-', meaning 'time'. this root is a common ancestor in english for words relating to time and its measurement, such as 'temporal', 'contemporary', and 'temporary'. the suffix '-arily' is a complex adverbial ending that evolved through old french from the latin adjectival suffix '-arius', which was used to form adjectives meaning 'pertaining to'. when attached to the root 'tempor', it creates the adjective 'temporary', meaning 'lasting for a time'. the addition of the standard english adverbial suffix '-ly' to 'temporary' then yields 'temporarily', an adverb describing an action or state that exists for a limited, non-permanent duration. the conceptual journey is direct: from the ancient, concrete notion of a measured interval (time) to the modern, abstract concept of provisional existence.

Structure: tempor (time) + arily (adverb suffix) tempor (latin, root meaning 'time') + arily (english, adverbial suffix derived from latin '-arius' via old french, indicating manner or condition)
