what does intermittent mean

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!
