interval
Time between events
An interval is a space between things—in time, distance, or sequence.
Musical intervals measure the gap between pitches.
In mathematics, an interval is a range of values between two points.
Events happen at regular intervals or at intervals of ten minutes.
The word suggests measured separation: She paused at intervals to catch her breath.
