'provisionally-allowed' originates from the combination of 'provisionally' and 'allowed'. 'Provisionally' comes from the Latin 'provisionem', meaning 'a providing', and 'allowed' from the Old French 'alouer', meaning 'to praise, approve'.

'Provisionally' evolved from the Latin 'provisionem' through Old French 'provision', and 'allowed' from Old French 'alouer', eventually forming the modern English term 'provisionally-allowed'.

Initially, 'provisionally' meant 'for the time being', and 'allowed' meant 'permitted'. Together, they convey a temporary permission, which remains consistent in modern usage.
