interval - (n.): the period of time between two events, activities etc.
  • Synonyms: break, pause, delay, gap in time, intermission, space
  • Origin: 1300, from Latin intervallum, originally meaning "space between palisades or ramparts," from inter- meaning "between" + vallum meaning "rampart." (click on rampart to see what one looks like...)
  • Example: The MET busses run at regular intervals.
Have you ever taken a ride on the MET before?
