degapped

Degapped is a term used in various contexts, primarily relating to the removal of a gap or separation. In finance, particularly in stock markets, "degapped" can refer to a stock whose price has moved to close a previous gap. A price gap occurs when a stock's trading price jumps significantly up or down from one trading period to the next, creating a visual "gap" on a price chart. When the price later moves to fill this gap, it is said to have degapped.

In more general terms, "degapped" can describe the state of something that has had its separating space or interval removed. This could apply to physical objects, conceptual divisions, or even time sequences where a delay or interruption has been eliminated. The specific meaning of "degapped" is dependent on the subject matter it is applied to. For instance, in manufacturing, a degapped component might be one that has had an unnecessary space between parts corrected to ensure proper function. The core idea remains the elimination of a prior void or separation.
