An interrupt vector is the memory address of an interrupt handler, or an index into an array called an interrupt vector table or dispatch table. Interrupt vector tables contain the memory addresses of interrupt handlers. When an interrupt is generated, the processor saves its execution state via a context switch, and begins execution of the interrupt handler at the interrupt vector.

Received when two devices were trying to use the same interrupt request (or IRQ) to signal an interrupt to the Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC).
Modern OSs making use of multi-tasking tend to be interrupt-driven.
The 8086 interrupt table is from 0000h to 03FFh for interrupt 0 through interrupt 255. It is common practice to design systems that use only the lower-numbered interrupts and then use the upper part of the interrupt table for code or data.

Interrupt is a verb.
Let me interrupt you there! Well I'ma let you finish, I don't mean to interrupt, but Beyonce did have the best video in the entire world. I can interrupt him if you like, but he gets very angry when he's disturbed from his work.
An interrupt is a signal from hardware (h/w interrupt) or software (s/w interrupt) to indicate the occurence of an event. It indicates the need of a change in execution. Interrupt handling or servicing of the interrupts depends upon the design of the operating system. A routine which will be called for servicing the interrupt is known as interrupt service routine or ISR and the request for the ISR through an interrupt is known as interrupt request or IRQ. Interrupt is a mechanism used for implementing the multitasking concept. It will use the concept of context switching, for servicing the request.
"You should not interrupt class," the teacher scolded the boy.
In the 8086/8088, the interrupt vector table is the first 1024 bytes of memory. In the 8085, the interrupt vector table is the first 64 bytes of memory if using the RST form of interrupt, otherwise the interrupt vector is provided by the interrupting device, usually in the form of a CALL instruction. The interrupt handler is wherever the interrupt vector points to.
