A quick definition of respite:

Respite means taking a break or a pause from something. It can also mean getting more time to do something. For example, if you have a lot of homework to do, you might ask your teacher for a respite to finish it. In some cases, respite can also mean getting a temporary break from a punishment or a delay in a court case. It can also refer to an agreement between someone who owes money and their creditors to give them more time to pay back what they owe.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A period of temporary delay or suspension.

Example 1: The doctor recommended that the patient take a respite from work to recover from the illness.

Example 2: The governor granted a respite to the death row inmate, delaying the execution for a month.

Example 3: The judge allowed a respite to the jury to consider the evidence before reaching a verdict.

Example 4: In civil law, a respite can be an agreement between a debtor and creditors to extend the time for repayment of debts.

The examples illustrate how respite can refer to a temporary delay or suspension in various contexts, such as work, legal proceedings, or debt repayment. It can be voluntary or forced, and it provides a period of relief or reprieve from a situation or obligation.
