the state of continuing over time

The state of something going on or staying the same for some time.

الگوی کاربرد: the continuance of [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "continuance" with "continuation." In many cases both are possible, but "continuation" is more common in everyday English. "Continuance" sounds more formal and is often used in official or legal-style writing. Do not confuse it with the adjective "continuous," which describes something that does not stop at all.
هم‌معنی‌ها
continuation (Very close in meaning; often slightly broader and more common in everyday use than "continuance.") | duration (Focuses on the length of time something lasts, not on the idea of staying in the same state.) | persistence (Adds a feeling of effort or difficulty in continuing, which "continuance" itself does not always imply.)
متضادها
end (General word for when something stops, the opposite of continuing.) | termination (A more formal word for bringing something to a stop, especially officially.)

court-ordered delay of a case

In a court, an official delay that moves a trial or hearing to a later day.

الگوی کاربرد: to grant/deny a continuance in [case]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think "continuance" in legal use means the case is continuing, but it actually means the case is delayed to a later date. Do not use it for non-legal delays (use "delay" or "postponement" instead).
هم‌معنی‌ها
postponement (General word for delaying something; not limited to legal contexts.) | adjournment (Another legal term, but more often refers to pausing or suspending a meeting or court session rather than rescheduling the whole case.)
متضادها
hearing (Refers to the legal proceeding actually taking place instead of being delayed.) | trial (The court process going forward as scheduled, the opposite of postponing it.)
