A more thorough explanation:

INTERRUPTIO

Interruptio (in-tuh-ruhp-shuh-oh) is a Latin word that means interruption. It is used in legal terms to refer to a break in the possession of land that ends a prescriptive claim.

Example 1: John has been using a piece of land that belongs to his neighbor, Tom, for over 20 years. He has been planting crops and grazing his animals on the land without Tom's permission. However, if Tom interrupts John's use of the land by asking him to stop or taking legal action against him, John's prescriptive claim will end.

Example 2: Sarah has been parking her car in her neighbor's driveway for the past 15 years. Her neighbor has never objected to this and has allowed her to park there. However, if the neighbor decides to build a fence that blocks Sarah's access to the driveway, it will be considered an interruptio and Sarah's prescriptive claim will end.

Interruptio refers to any action that interrupts or breaks the continuous use of a piece of land. In the examples given, if John's neighbor Tom asks him to stop using the land or if Sarah's neighbor builds a fence that blocks her access to the driveway, it will be considered an interruptio. This means that their prescriptive claims will end, and they will no longer have the legal right to use the land or driveway without permission.
