Adjournment [fr. jour, Fr., a day], a putting off to another time or place, a continuation of a meeting from one day to another.

This interest is called a 'contango.'

This payment is called a 'backwardation,' or shortly a 'back.'An income-tax deduction (esp. for a net operating loss) that cannot be taken entirely in a given period but may be taken in a later period (usu. the next five years), Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn....
