'provisionally-collected' originates from the combination of 'provisionally' and 'collected'. 'Provisionally' comes from the Latin 'provisionem', meaning 'a providing', and 'collected' from the Latin 'collectus', meaning 'gathered together'.

'Provisionally' changed from the Latin 'provisionem' to the Old French 'provision', and eventually became the modern English word 'provisionally'. 'Collected' evolved from the Latin 'collectus' to the Old French 'collecter', and eventually became the modern English word 'collected'.

Initially, 'provisionally' meant 'for the time being', and 'collected' meant 'gathered together'. The combined term 'provisionally-collected' retains these meanings, indicating a temporary gathering.
