Provvisoria

Provvisoria is the feminine form of the Italian adjective provvisorio and means temporary or provisional. It describes something intended to be temporary or subject to change, and is used in various contexts with phrases such as versione provvisoria (provisional version) or misura provvisoria (provisional measure).

In law and public administration, provvisoria denotes provisional status: measures, orders, or arrangements enacted pending a final decision, regulation, or confirmation. Examples include misure provvisorie (provisional measures) and bilancio provvisorio (provisional budget).

In publishing and documentation, it refers to working drafts or early versions: a testo provvisorio or versione provvisoria remains subject to revision before final release.

The term is widely used in Italian-speaking contexts to communicate temporariness and the possibility of changes, signaling that what is described as provvisoria is not yet final and may be revised or replaced. See also provvisorio for the masculine form and related expressions in Italian.
