INTERVAL

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 714 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INTERVAL , a space left between the component parts of a continuous
series
 , a pause in continuous action, a period of time intervening between two other points of time or
chronological
  sequence of events. The Lat. intervallum, from which the
English
  word has come through the
French
 , originally meant a space between the palisades on a rampart (vallum), or between the rampart and the tents of the legionaries. In medical language " interval " is used of the intervening periods between attacks or paroxysms of a disease, particularly of the periods of a rational or normal
condition
  of mind sometimes experienced by an insane person, a " lucid interval "; this phrase frequently occurs in legal documents from the 13th to the 15th centuries, non compos mentis sed gaudet lucidis intervallis. In music " interval " ex-presses the distance in pitch between two or more musical sounds (see Music). Interval, or more commonly " intervale," is used, particularly in
North
  America, as a geographical
term
  for a low-lying
tract
  of
land
  along the
banks
  of rivers, frequently overflowed by freshets, or more loosely for any low level
land
  shut in by hills. This particular application, as also the form " intervale," is due to a confusion of the termination of the word with " vale," valley.
