In heraldry, broken ordinaries (especially chevrons) can be represented artistically and described in blazon in various ways:

Guillim's 1611 Display blazons this chevron, in the Salt family's arms, "rompé or rompu" (Gough's 1847 Glossary adds alt names "double dancette, or downset"; an 1850 Freemasons' Quarterly labels it "disjointed or fracted").
Pimbley's 1908 Dictionary has this as "chevron fracted"; Mistholme says it's in Holme's Fifteenth Century Book in the arms of Fyndarne.
Woodward's 1892 Treatise has such chevrons as a "chevron rompu", borne by Beaumont.
Woodward has this as "fracted", borne by Rozier de Linage. Gough calls it "fracted" or "broken"; Mistholme says it's not found in the medieval period.
The 1850 Freemasons' Quarterly labels a chevron like this "fracted or removed of one joint".
Chevrons like this are found in recent illustrations of French coats.
Chevrons like this are found in recent illustrations of some coats.
