When referring to meetings or court sessions, the word "adjourns" is commonly used. Some synonyms for this term include recesses, suspensions, and breaks. These words imply a temporary pause in proceedings with the intention of resuming at a later time. Other synonyms for adjourns include deferments, postponements, and continuances, which suggest a delay or extension of the original timeline for the meeting or court session. Additionally, terms such as disband, dissolve, and conclude are also related to adjourning, but they usually indicate a permanent end to the proceedings rather than a temporary pause.
