'provisionally-formed' originates from the Latin word 'provisionem,' where 'pro-' meant 'before' and 'videre' meant 'to see,' combined with 'formed' from the Latin 'formare,' meaning 'to shape.'

'provisionem' transformed into the Old French word 'provision,' and eventually became the modern English word 'provisionally,' combined with 'formed' from 'formare.'

Initially, 'provisionally' meant 'for the time being,' and 'formed' meant 'shaped or created.' Together, they convey the idea of something temporarily established.
