temporalmente

/tempoˌɾalˈmente/ · B2 · adv

temporarily

⏳ temporal-mente = time-ly (tempo + -mente) → only for a time, temporarily

Temporal comes from Latin tempus, time, and the adverb ending -mente works like English -ly. So temporalmente is literally time-ly: it lasts only for a limited time. Stress falls on -men-: tem-po-ral-MEN-te.
