'provisionally-permitted' originates from the Latin word 'provisionem,' meaning 'a providing,' and the Old French word 'permettre,' meaning 'to allow.'

'provisionem' transformed into the English word 'provision,' and 'permettre' evolved into 'permit,' eventually forming the modern English term 'provisionally-permitted.'

Initially, it meant 'allowed under provision,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'allowed temporarily or under certain conditions.'
