Etymology
Deocamdată is a Romanian compound built from four small pieces welded into one adverb: de, o, cam, and dată. It literally reads as 'for about one time,' which settled into the meaning 'for now, until something else happens.' The word is a native Romanian formation, not a direct borrowing, though its last piece, dată, descends from Latin.
