Etymology
'temporarily-fixed' originates from the combination of 'temporary' and 'fixed', where 'temporary' comes from Latin 'temporarius', meaning 'lasting for a time', and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus', meaning 'fastened'.
'Temporary' evolved from the Latin 'temporarius' through Old French 'temporaire', and 'fixed' from Latin 'fixus' through Old French 'fixer'.
Initially, 'temporary' meant 'lasting for a time', and 'fixed' meant 'fastened'. Together, they convey the idea of something set for a short duration.
