hocket

In music, a device in medieval vocal and instrumental music, consisting of phrases when broken up by rests, in such a way that when one part is silent another fills the gap. A hocket is also a piece written in this style.

The word is similar to ‘hiccup’ and derived from the French equivalent hoquet.
