A ceasing; a stop; the act of discontinuing motion.

In a sentence:
When the DJ played the Billy Ray Cyrus remix, not only were all the kids confused, the dancing actually came to a cessation.

In a different sentence:
I didn’t mean to put a cessation on his good mood… I thought he’d be happy that I’m dating his mom.

How Will Shakespeare might use the word (on a bathroom wall):
I can safely say,
without hesitation-
there’s no worse cessation
than constipation.

Oddball fact:
Speaking of cessations, or lack of, did you know a tuna will suffocate if it ever stops swimming? Tuna need a continual flow of water across their gills to breathe, even while they rest.
