Apparently in French the word eventually merely means possibly rather than ultimately.
And not many native speakers are aware of this.
That's a war starting false friend that is.

The same in Swedish, eventuellt = possibly.

German, as well. Eventuell = maybe,  possibly

[celedhring]

Eventualmente = provisionally, for a brief time,  in Spanish.

1. adv. Incierta o casualmente.

In Portuguese, it's again the same meaning, derived from the latin eventum or eventus.

Naps rule.
