  1. Ellipsis, not to be confused with ellipse (an oval shape), or elision (omission of one or more words so a phrase is easier to pronounce). Ellipsis are also known as "suspension points, points of ellipsis, periods of ellipsis, or colloquially, dot-dot-dot."


  2. ellipsis

  3. 'Ellipsis', also called 'omission marks' or 'suspension'
