stoppings
Acts of halting
Stoppings is the plural of stopping, which names things that stop or block.
In mining, stoppings are barriers built to control airflow or seal off dangerous areas in underground passages.
In dentistry, a stopping is material used to fill a cavity—the stuff that stops the hole.
The mine required new stoppings after the ventilation survey.
