Interrupted, spasmodic (13)

I believe the answer is:

discontinuous

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'interrupted' is the first definition.
(associated in meaning)

'spasmodic' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for discontinuous that I've seen before include "Containing gaps" , "Having intervals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
