Tentatively
There are a couple of different definitions for the word tentatively. The first definition is: not fully worked out, concluded or agreed on; provisional. The second definition is: uncertain; hesitant. So if someone were to say they have tentative plans for the weekend, this would mean that their plans for the weekend are uncertain. Another example would be if someone told you that they tentatively watched someone walk by their house. In this use of the sentence, tentatively would mean that they watched this person with uncertainty.
