HIATUS

1: a break in or as if in a material object - Nope not that one

2: a gap or passage in an anatomical part or organ – Holy smoke, not that one

3: an interruption in time or continuity: break; especially: a period when something (as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted – yep, that's the one

4: the occurrence of two vowel sounds without pause or intervening consonantal sound – huh?

Hiatus is a cool word that taps your tongue when it leaves your mouth, and its a word that I use often, because time keeps getting interrupted. Hiatus is also a cool word because backwards it spells Sutaih,which is a Sanskrit word that means “by the sons”. Which you can look up for further clarification if the notion hits you or taps your tongue.

Hopefully, going forward I wont have “the occurrence of two vowel sounds without pause or intervening consonantal sound”
