Definition
Plural of halftime; the intervals between the two main periods of a game or sports match.
Etymology
From 'half' + 'time' (the middle point in time). This sports terminology became standardized in the 19th century with organized team sports.
Kelly Says
Halftime break is actually a genius sports invention—it gives players time to recover, coaches time to strategize, and fans time to panic about their team's performance!
