stop clock
Halt the timepiece
A stop clock is a clock that can be started, stopped, and reset to measure elapsed time—essentially a large stopwatch used in sports arenas, classrooms, or industrial settings where visibility matters.
In basketball and other timed sports, to stop the clock is to halt game time, typically after a foul, timeout, or when the ball goes out of bounds: The referee stopped the clock with three seconds remaining.
