​ Pause, feminine, from the equivalent Middle High German pûse, feminine, ‘pause, rest’; borrowed in Middle High German from French pause (Latin and Italian pausa), whence also Dutch poos and English pause. The Latin-Romance word passed through a German medium to the North. Compare Danish pause, Swedish paus.
