What break means
To separate something into pieces or damage it so that it no longer works properly, or to pause or stop doing something temporarily.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *brecan*, meaning to shatter or burst. This verb descends from Proto-Germanic *brekan*, which likely comes from an Indo-European root meaning to crack or tear. The sense of interrupting something developed from the physical meaning of splitting apart, much like breaking a line of continuity.
