    Interval

    【解词】
    early 14c., "time elapsed between two actions or events," from Old French intervalle "interval, interim" (14c.), earlier entreval (13c.) and directly from Late Latin intervallum "a space between, an interval of time, a distance," originally "space between palisades or ramparts" [OED], from inter "between" (see inter-) + vallum "rampart, palisade, wall," which is apparently a collective form of vallus "stake," from PIE *walso- "a post" (see wall (n.)).
    Metaphoric sense of "gap in time" also was in Latin. From c. 1400 in English as "a pause, an interruption in a state or activity." Musical sense "difference in pitch between two tones" is from c. 1600.
    Interval来源于13世纪后期拉丁语单词“intervallum”,期中inter表示在……之间,vallum表示栅栏,防御土墙或城墙,vallum还是stake的集体形式。Intervallum表示空间上间隔的一段距离或时间的间隔。到了14世纪早期,发展为古法语单词“intervalle”,表示间隔、过渡期。这个词的隐喻意思“时间上的间隔”来自于拉丁语。到了14世纪在英语中就表示国家间的间隔过活动间的间隔。从16世纪起在音乐术语中还可以表示“音程”。

    【释义】
    n.

    1. An interval between two events or dates is the period of time between them.

    2. An interval during a film, concert, show, or game is a short break between two of the parts.
