Discontinuation, interruption; a steady gaze, scrutiny; middle finger; dado; China
Explanation:
The particular meaning depends on the Chinese characters used. With regard to the characters the first mora (syllable) is actually elongated in all cases, the more correct transliteration being chuushi. Otherwise, strictly speaking, the word means nothing that I know of.
