caesura
noun
cae·su·ra si-ˈzyu̇r-ə 
-ˈzhu̇r-
-ˈzhu̇r- plural caesuras or caesurae si-ˈzyu̇r-(ˌ)ē
-ˈzhu̇r-
1
in modern prosody : a usually rhetorical break in the flow of sound in the middle of a line of verse
Did you know?
Caesuras (or caesurae) are those slight pauses one makes as one reads verse. While it may seem that their most obvious role is to emphasize the metrical construction of the verse, more often we need these little stops (which may be, but are not necessarily, set off by punctuation) to introduce the cadence and phrasing of natural speech into the metrical scheme. The word caesura, borrowed from Late Latin, is ultimately from Latin caedere meaning "to cut." Nearly as old as the 450-year-old poetry senses is the general meaning of "a break or interruption."
