用 stop（停止）加后缀 -age（表状态）来记：停下来的状态即“停滞、中止”，东西卡住管子即“堵塞、阻塞”。
语域：mixed 常见场景：labor disputes and industrial action、pipe or drain maintenance、football/soccer matches、formal reports and notices 该词属于偏正式的书面用词，但具体语域随搭配变化：多用于正式报告、劳资纠纷或管道维修，日常口语中较少见；足球比赛中的 stoppage time 则为常见固定说法。
No listed word is a true rhyme with /ˈstɑpɪdʒ/ because the stressed vowel and following sounds differ (slippage /ˈslɪpɪdʒ/, baggage and package /ˈbæ.../, village /ˈvɪ.../, hostage /ˈhɑst.../, garbage /ˈɡɑrb.../). They are useful spelling lookalikes sharing the -age ending, and slippage also matches the -pp- spelling; do not rely on their spelling to guess the vowel sound.
