Hiatus
Penasaran nih, sudah beberapa bulan lalu sering baca kata HIATUS… tentunya di blog-blog yang saya kunjungi. Dan dalam suasana Natal dan Tahun Baru ini beberapa teman blogger bikin announcement mau hiatus. Sudah ngerti sih apa itu Hiatus, tapi masih penasaran aja pengen tahu apa arti lengkapnya 
Nah kebetulan hari ini punya kesempatan untuk googling dan cek di Visual Thesaurus, software keluaran ThinkMap yang menampilkan arti kata, rangkaian sinonim kata -bahkan antonymnya- dan hubungannya secara visual seperti rangkaian molekul-molekul waktu dulu belajar kimia di SMA. Lihat aja gambar terlampir 
Di Visual Thesaurus, HIATUS bersinonim dengan:
- Foramen
- Suspension, abatement, respite dan reprieve
Definisi HIATUS di google diantaranya:
suspension: an interruption in the intensity or amount of something
a missing piece (as a gap in a manuscript)
