Cessate

Cessate (verb): To come to an end; to stop or discontinue an action, process, or condition. The cessation implies a definitive conclusion or halting, rather than a temporary pause. This often involves a gradual tapering off, a deliberate decision, or the natural termination of an event. It can apply to a wide range of activities, from physical processes like bleeding to abstract concepts like hostilities or employment. It's often used in legal, formal, or technical contexts to denote the point at which something officially ceases to exist or be in effect.
