sudden management
Etymology
'abruptly-managed' originates from the combination of 'abruptly' and 'managed'. 'Abruptly' comes from Latin 'abruptus', meaning 'broken off', and 'managed' is derived from Latin 'manus', meaning 'hand'.
'abruptly' changed from the Latin word 'abruptus' and eventually became the modern English word 'abruptly'. 'Managed' evolved from the Latin 'manus', through Old French 'managier', to the modern English 'manage'.
Initially, 'abruptly' meant 'broken off', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'suddenly'. 'Managed' has largely retained its meaning of 'handled or controlled'.
