Doesn't it mean something to do with slices of the moon too? I could look this up but I don't want to
It literally just means gaps. Academics use Latin to raise the barrier to entry and feel smart.
Sometimes there are highly specific terms that are difficult to render into English without overloading words but lacuna just means gap and anyone who uses it is a smelly bum bum.
Ty, I didn't look that up so that's a useful explanation. I have a lacuna in my bum (bum cleft) oh no all stinky :(
Yep, you're going on the block list
