'momentarily-linked' originates from the English word 'momentarily,' which comes from the Latin word 'momentarius,' meaning 'lasting for a moment,' and 'linked,' from the Old English 'hlinc,' meaning 'a ridge or chain.'

'momentarily' evolved from the Latin 'momentarius' through Old French 'momentanel,' and 'linked' evolved from Old English 'hlinc' to the modern English 'link.'

Initially, 'momentarily' meant 'for a moment,' and 'linked' meant 'connected.' The combined term 'momentarily-linked' retains the original meanings, indicating a temporary connection.
