Definitions:

(1) (furlough)
a temporary leave from work, duty, or confinement, usually granted by an employer, the military, or an institution

Furloughs are often without pay in private companies, but government workers are sometimes furloughed with pay, especially during shutdowns. A prison furlough is a temporary release from prison, usually for a specific reason, like visiting family or attending a funeral.
(2) (meaning too rare to warrant focus)
Less commonly, Furlough is used as a last name.
