is the term "eventually" used in similar meaning as "possibly" ?
the word "eventually" ( in Italian "eventualmente", in Polish "ewentualnie" etc... ) has similar meaning to "possibly" but in the English or American-english, "eventually" means "in the end" or "sooner or later"
has it been ever used in the other ( ~ "possibly" or "perhaps" ) meaning too ?

Eventually means that something will happen, just not at a predetermined time.
Possibly means something may or may not occur.

need a login to oed.com (or something similar) which should detail the derivation of the word. I'd be interested to know.

Eventually is a term used by many married english speaking males
" yes hunny I will eventually get around to fixing the toilet" possibly is a far more heinous word for the married man and evokes doubt " darling did you take that washing out before"....."Possibly"  Choppas English 101 out

You can say "eventual" in english aswell (with the meaning "possibly" as in swedish and many other languages), but its a very old-fashioned way of using it.

Definition and *usage* are 2 different things. While the word "eventually" *means* sooner or later, and the word "possibly" *means* maybe not at all, I have observed that many people will *use* the word eventually even when they are not sure something will happen, or because they want to preserve uncertainty in the mind of another person. Likewise, I have seen "possibly" used by people even when the truth is DEFINITELY -- 2hp

^^what 2houseplague said is correct
in it's strictest definition though, and what you should use to avoid confusion: possibly = may or may not happen eventually = WILL happen at some later time
