Intermittent: stopping and starting at intervals

Intermittent describes something that stops and starts rather than continuing without interruption. It comes from Latin intermittere, meaning to leave off or interrupt. Intermittent rain may fall several times during an afternoon, with dry periods between the showers rather than one continuous downpour.
