'temporarily' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'temporarius,' where 'tempus' meant 'time.' 'Collected' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'colligere,' where 'col-' meant 'together' and 'legere' meant 'to gather.'

'temporarius' transformed into the Old French word 'temporaire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'temporary.' 'Colligere' transformed into the Old French word 'collecter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'collect.'

Initially, 'temporarily' meant 'for a time,' and 'collected' meant 'gathered together.' Over time, 'temporarily-collected' evolved to mean 'gathered for a short period of time.'
