Abscission
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of cutting off.
(n.) The state of being cut off.
(n.) A figure of speech employed when a speaker having begun to say a thing stops abruptly: thus, "He is a man of so much honor and candor, and of such generosity -- but I need say no more."
Example Sentences:
