Question

tentatively adv.试验性地；犹豫不决地；暂时地 (1) 可以这样探讨性地提出，那些竭力主张废除死刑的人们主要是受怜悯的影响。 It makes sense that the English adverb tentatively stems from the Latin tentare “to feel, try,” because to do something tentatively means to test it out. Think of how you slowly wade into a freezing cold pool. You’re moving tentatively, because you know it’s going to be a shock and you want to give your body time to adjust. The opposite of tentatively is certainly, a word that indicates no hesitation.
