'abruptly-interrupted' originates from the combination of 'abruptly' and 'interrupted'. 'Abruptly' comes from Latin 'abruptus', meaning 'broken off', and 'interrupted' comes from Latin 'interruptus', meaning 'broken apart'.

'abruptly' changed from the Latin word 'abruptus' and 'interrupted' from 'interruptus', eventually forming the modern English compound 'abruptly-interrupted'.

Initially, 'abruptly' meant 'broken off suddenly', and 'interrupted' meant 'broken apart'. Together, they convey the idea of something being suddenly stopped.
