C1 adjective Formal

interpulsary

/ˌɪntərˈpʌlsəri/

Occurring, situated, or relating to the interval between pulses or rhythmic beats. It is primarily used in technical fields such as physics, telecommunications, and cardiology to describe events or spaces that happen during the gaps of a repeating signal.

Usage Notes

This word is highly specialized and is almost never encountered outside of scientific papers, engineering manuals, or medical diagnostics. It functions strictly as an attributive adjective.

⚠️

Common Mistakes

Learners often mistake it for 'compulsory' due to the similar ending, or use it to mean 'impulsive.' It should only be used when referring to rhythmic gaps.

💡

Memory Tip

Break it down: 'Inter' (between) + 'puls' (pulse) + 'ary' (relating to). It is the space 'between pulses.'

📖

Word Origin

Derived from the Latin 'inter' (between) combined with 'pulsus' (a beating or stroke).

Grammar Patterns

Used as an attributive adjective before nouns (e.g., interpulsary delay). Does not have a comparative or superlative form.
