Etymology
'abruptly-evolved' originates from the combination of 'abruptly' and 'evolved'. 'Abruptly' comes from Latin 'abruptus', meaning 'broken off', and 'evolved' comes from Latin 'evolvere', meaning 'to unroll'.
'Abruptly' changed from the Latin word 'abruptus' and 'evolved' from 'evolvere', eventually forming the modern English term 'abruptly-evolved'.
Initially, 'abruptly' meant 'broken off' and 'evolved' meant 'to unroll', but together they now describe a sudden development or change.
