This is the unseen root of the word incessant, which means not stopping. The root means stopped.

The teachers entering the class caused the noise to become cessant.

Cessa 

Pronounced: (se-su) Nickname for a young to middle aged ridiculously good looking female with zero daddy issues that is used to being treated like a princess. Very often throws “Cessa”tantrums and becomes fussy when things don’t go as planned. Known for being very loving and affectionate needing excessive snuggs and love but ready to pout at a moments notice. The juice is worth the squeeze with a true Cessa.

1. Dude, that girl is constant!! She needs my undivided attention at all times and even that’s not enough!!! She’s a freakin Cessa.
2. So you’re upset that you have too many presents to open...stop being such a Cessa!!

Elevation Cessation 

The letdown experienced after standing in an elevator, doors almost closed, and someone activates the sensor in a last minute attempt to board by pressing the outside button or waving a hand between the doors.

I was in a full elevator and experienced Elevation Cessation when Harold did a mean karate chop between the doors, trying to board.

cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex 

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

b) (my new and improved English translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying " repeal and replace" old and possibly antiquated laws)

can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to Obamacare?
