**lacuna (n.)

“blank or missing portion in a manuscript,” from Latin lacuna “hole, pit,” figuratively “a gap, void, want,” diminutive of lacus “pond, lake; hollow, opening”. The Latin plural is lacunae. The word has also been used in English in the literal Latin sense in anatomy, zoology, botany. Mathematics tends to use lacunary, natural history lacunose, and lacunar is used in the architecture of paneled ceilings, so-called for their sunken compartments. Leaving lacunal for the manuscript sense.
