Key Points

  • Intermittent = stopping and starting at intervals, not continuous — hence periodic.
  • "Intermittent rain" means rain that comes and goes.

Additional Information

  • Contrast with incessant / continuous / perpetual, which mean unbroken.
  • Intermingle (to mix) and transmit (to send) are sound-alike distractors with no shared meaning.
