The Latin word interim, all by itself, means "meanwhile" or sometimes "nevertheless". In correct Latin it is an adverb, not a noun, and never occurs after the preposition ad ("to; towards"). Despite this fact, the phrase ad interim is used in modern languages to mean "temporary; for the meantime", probably by false analogy with the grammatically proper ad hoc, literally "to this".
