'contemporarily-held' originates from the word 'contemporary,' which comes from Latin, specifically the word 'contemporarius,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'temporarius' meant 'of time.'

'contemporarius' transformed into the English word 'contemporary,' and eventually became the modern English word 'contemporarily-held' through the addition of 'held.'

Initially, 'contemporary' meant 'of the same time,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'currently or presently possessed or maintained.'
