dum interim

Latin

Etymology

From dum +‎ interim, both already meaning “while”.

Adverb

dum interim (not comparable) (Late Latin)

during, while
Synonyms: dum, interim, interea
- [c. 400 CE, Donatus, Interpretationes Vergilianae, 11,20:
  Interea, inquit, hoc est dum interim […]
  'Interea', he says, which means 'dum interim'[1] […]]

Reconstruction notes

In several descendants, the first syllable was reinterpreted as dē- and often deleted (having been taken as optional). It may be that there existed an early *minterim, inherited as such into multiple descendant branches, but the earliest attested Romance forms appear to be those that begin with do- or de-, with the syncopated forms surfacing only later.
