Extemporaneously--9:2

Where I Found It

While reading chapter 6 of Hicks (2013) Crafting Digital Writing I came across this word.
The context is "composing a live action video of themselves speaking extemporaneously or delivering scripted narration can help students meet many of these standards"

Level of Familiarity

I do not believe I ever heard this word before, but I recognize the prefix "ex" and the root word "temp" and the suffix "ly" so the word seems familiar. I think the word means "done outside of time"?

What it Means

Dictionary.com defines this words as:
"done spoken or performed without special advance preparation"
or "previously planned but delivered with the help of few or no notes"
or "speaking or performing with little or no advanced preparation"

Reflective Commentary

This now makes sense in the context. My prediction was not correct, but close in some ways. Like, done without (instead of outside) time (to prepare)? I like this word because of its many parts. I like when words can be like a puzzle, we can take apart its pieces. I do not see myself using this word in speaking, but possibly in writing and especially with students to expose them to a new word.
