cae|su|ra
cae|su|ra «sih ZHUR uh, -ZYUR-», noun, plural -su|ras, -su|rae «-ZHUR ee, -ZYUR-».
1. a pause in a line of verse, generally agreeing with a pause required by the sense. The caesura is the chief pause if there is more than one. In Greek and Latin poetry the caesura regularly falls within a foot, not far from the middle of a line. In English poetry it usually comes near the middle of a line, either within or after a metrical foot. Example: “To err is human, / to forgive, divine.” »

Criticism has concerned itself a good deal with the “caesura” in [Alexander] Pope, believing it possible to explain his verse in terms of a relatively mechanically placed pause (Whitehall and Hill).

2. Music. a pause or break at the end of a phrase or other rhythmic division. Also, cesura.
╂[< Latin caesūra a cutting < caedere to cut]
