Etymology
'temporarily-granted' originates from the combination of 'temporary' and 'grant,' where 'temporary' comes from Latin 'temporarius,' meaning 'lasting for a time,' and 'grant' from Old French 'graanter,' meaning 'to allow or permit.'
'temporarily-granted' evolved from the combination of 'temporary' and 'grant,' which were used separately in Middle English and eventually combined in modern English to describe something given for a limited time.
Initially, it meant 'given for a short period,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
