The word "intermittent" means something that happens occasionally or at irregular intervals , not continuously or steadily. It describes events or actions that start and stop repeatedly over time.
Examples:
- Intermittent rain means it rains sometimes, then stops, then rains again.
- Intermittent fasting is a diet pattern where you eat only during certain periods and fast at other times.
- Intermittent signals might come and go, rather than being constant.
If you want, I can give more examples or explain it in a specific context!
