Word stuff: Respite


RESS-pit

a period of temporary delay,  an interval of rest or relief


 "Respite" traces from the Latin term "respectus," which comes from a verb meaning, both literally and figuratively, "to turn around to look at" or "to regard." By the 14th century, we had granted "respite" the sense we use most often today—"a welcome break."
