AnswerGenerally adjourn means to end or postpone a meeting or court proceeding.
Additional Answer
In British English, 'adjourn' means to 'temporarily suspend'. For example, one would adjourn a meeting for lunch; or a court case might be adjourned until the following morning. Unlike in American English, adjourn doesn't mean to end; so, when a meeting is finished, it is 'closed', not 'adjourned'.
