provisorisch
provisional
Etwas, das nur vorübergehend gedacht ist und noch nicht die endgültige Lösung darstellt.
The German word "provisorisch" is an adjective that means "provisional," "temporary," or "makeshift." It refers to something that is not permanent and is often intended to be a temporary solution until a more permanent one can be implemented.
The word "provisorisch" is derived from "Provisorium," which means a provisional arrangement or temporary measure.
Similar words in German include "vorläufig" (temporary) and "temporär" (temporary).
The difference between "provisorisch" and these similar words lies in the implication of it being a makeshift solution, often not fully reliable or adequate, whereas "vorläufig" and "temporär" might also just imply something that is short-term without that connotation.
