epoche

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Latin epocha or German Epoche, from Ancient Greek ἐποχή (epokhḗ). Doublet of epoch.

This term was introduced by Husserl and other phenomenologists, although it also seems to be present in Aristotelian philosophy (as the concept did originate with Aristotle).
