'abruptly-stopped' originates from the combination of 'abruptly' and 'stopped', where 'abruptly' comes from Latin 'abruptus', meaning 'broken off', and 'stopped' is the past participle of 'stop', from Old English 'stoppian'.

'abruptly' changed from the Latin word 'abruptus' and 'stopped' from Old English 'stoppian', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'abruptly-stopped'.

Initially, 'abruptly' meant 'broken off', and 'stopped' meant 'to cease', but over time, the compound adjective 'abruptly-stopped' evolved to mean 'suddenly halted'.
