詞源:
momentarily?(adv.)1650s, “for a moment,” from momentary + -ly (2). Meaning “at any moment” is attested by 1928.momentarily, momently. The first means for a moment (he was momentarily abashed), the second from moment to moment or every moment (am momently expecting a wire from him). The differentiation is well worth more faithful observance than it gets; & the substitution of either, which sometimes occurs, for instantly or immediately or at once is foolish novelty-hunting.

momentorily (adv.)1650s,“片刻”,來(lái)自 momentary + -ly (2)。 1928 證明了“在任何時(shí)刻”的意思。片刻,片刻。第一個(gè)意思是暫時(shí)的(他暫時(shí)感到羞愧),第二個(gè)意思是時(shí)時(shí)刻刻或每時(shí)每刻(我正在等待他的電報(bào))。這種區(qū)別比它得到的更值得忠實(shí)遵守; &有時(shí)會(huì)立即或立即或立即替換其中任何一個(gè)是愚蠢的新奇事物。 [Fowler, 1926]相關(guān)條目及更多
