缺口 is pronounced quēkǒu and means “brecha; hueco”. It belongs to the HSK 6 vocabulary, one of the six bands of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, China’s official Chinese proficiency exam. Recognising 缺口 on a page and producing it in conversation are different skills, and only the second holds up when someone is waiting for an answer — so LexiTrail brings it back just as your memory of it starts to fade, not on a fixed weekly rota.
