Also means
preventively
Usage Note
Cautelarmente is a formal legal and administrative adverb derived from cautelar (precautionary). It appears almost exclusively in legal texts — detenido cautelarmente (held on precautionary grounds), suspendido cautelarmente — and would sound odd in everyday speech, where por precaución is preferred.
Examples
"El directivo fue suspendido cautelarmente."
Natural Translation
The executive was suspended as a precaution.
