Hiatus

The word hiatus, which originates from Latin, means something is interrupted or stopped for a period of time.
School’s out!

Word of the Day: Hiatus

We commonly use the word hiatus when something is interrupted or stopped for some time.

When there is a typhoon in Japan, ferries are put on a short hiatus until the storm passes and operations can safely begin again.

In North America, schools go on a summer hiatus.

For a little over two months the schools are closed so both students and teachers can relax, refresh, do other things and come back rejuvenated at the end of the summer.

If a person continues to do the same thing day after day without a break, they run the risk of burning out.

I believe we all need to experience the benefits of going on a short hiatus once in a while.
