the period at the end of every sentence your body refuses to finish.
means To cease moving or acting, or to bring something to a halt.
from From Old English 'stoppian,' meaning to plug or block up — think of stuffing a hole shut. It likely traces back through West Germanic to a Vulgar Latin word 'stuppare,' to stop up with tow or oakum (coarse fiber), itself possibly from Greek 'styppe,' that same wadding. The journey runs from 'plugging a leak' to 'halting motion' — what stops flowing has, after all, been blocked.
