Also means
for a moment
Usage Note
Momentáneamente can describe something that lasts only a moment (el sistema cayó momentáneamente, the system went down momentarily) or, especially in Latin American Spanish, something that will happen in a moment — the opposite of its English cognate. Context usually resolves the ambiguity.
Examples
