Hiatus comes from the Latin verb “hiare,” meaning “to stand open.”
It originally referred to physical openings like the mouth of a cave or a gap in rocks.
People started using it to describe a break in time or events around the early 17th century.
In that spirit, #WordNerdWednesday will be taking a hiatus for a few weeks as I enjoy some R&R.
We’ll be back in early August.
