timeouts
Strategic play stoppages
Timeouts is the plural of timeout.
In sports, a timeout is a brief stoppage of play requested by a team to strategize or rest: The coach called two timeouts in the final minute.
For children, a timeout is a disciplinary pause—time spent sitting quietly away from activity.
In computing, a timeout occurs when a system stops waiting for a response: The connection failed after repeated timeouts.
