Etymology
The word 'abruptly' derives from the Latin verb 'abrumpere', which means 'to break off' or 'to break away'. The term evolved through Middle French in the form of 'abrupt', which was adopted into English in the early 15th century. The suffix '-ly' was added to form the adverbial form, indicating the manner in which something is done. Historically, the concept of something being 'abrupt' has been associated with sudden breaks or interruptions in both physical contexts, like a sudden stop, and in social situations, such as abrupt departures or changes in conversation.
