'abruptly-ended' originates from the Latin word 'abruptus,' where 'ab-' meant 'off' and 'rumpere' meant 'to break.'

'abruptus' transformed into the English word 'abrupt,' and eventually became the modern English phrase 'abruptly-ended.'

Initially, it meant 'broken off suddenly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'terminated suddenly or unexpectedly.'
