elapse
This term describes the steady, inevitable progression of time. It carries a neutral or slightly formal tone, often used in legal, technical, or narrative contexts to mark the interval between two specific events. It suggests a passive flow where time simply disappears or is consumed.
Because it refers exclusively to time, it cannot be used for physical movement or the passing of objects. While "pass" is a versatile synonym, "elapse" is more precise and restricted, focusing on the duration of a period rather than the act of moving past a point.
