Από το λατινικό ρήμα hio, που πρέπει να έχει συγγένεια με το ελληνικό χαίνω, η μετοχή hiatus, [hʌɪˈeɪtəs] στην αγγλική της προφορά, είναι η χασμωδία στη γλώσσα, η κακόηχη συνάντηση φωνηέντων σε επάλληλες συλλαβές, αλλά για τη γενική χρήση καλύτερες αποδόσεις είναι: παύση, κενό, χάσμα, διακοπή.
Ενδιαφέρον έχει η ειδική εφαρμογή στην τηλεόραση. Δεν έχει παγιωθεί κάποια απόδοση, έτσι; Λέμε «διακοπή» ή «παύση», φαντάζομαι, αν και για τη διατύπωση «A network may put a show on hiatus before canceling it» πολύ θα ήθελα να πω ότι το «βάζει στον πάγο».

In television scheduling, a hiatus refers to a break of at least several weeks in the normal schedule of a broadcast programming. It can occur during a season of a television program, or can be between television seasons (usually starting in June and ending in August when shooting starts for the next season).
Many times television stations will implement a hiatus for their television programs for the sheer purpose of splitting up a season, just so it will run for longer until the next season is completed. An example of this is NBC's show Heroes, which took a 2-month hiatus starting in February 2007 and returned at the end of April 2007. [...] A network may put a show on hiatus before canceling it.
