truncation
Chopping the end
Truncation is the act of cutting something short or the state of being cut short.
Data gets truncated when storage runs out of space.
A truncated cone has its tip sliced off.
In mathematics and computing, truncation removes digits beyond a certain point without rounding: The system performs truncation at two decimal places.
The word implies an abrupt cutoff rather than a gradual tapering.
