Etymology
'temporarily' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'temporarius,' where 'tempus' meant 'time.' 'Saved' comes from Old English 'safian,' meaning 'to make safe.'
'temporarius' transformed into the French word 'temporaire,' and eventually became the modern English word 'temporary.' 'Safian' evolved into 'save' in Middle English.
Initially, 'temporarily' meant 'for a time,' and 'saved' meant 'to make safe.' Over time, 'temporarily-saved' evolved to mean 'saved for a short period of time.'
