It is a reference to a "break" in a task or game, whether to clarify a rule or for a period of relaxation.

"The referee called a time out. The players returned to the sidelines."

The phrase 'time out' can also express a punishment given to a child who is misbehaving.

"Jim, go sit over there and take a time out until you calm down."
