'abruptly-transferred' originates from the combination of 'abruptly' and 'transferred', where 'abruptly' means 'suddenly' and 'transferred' means 'moved from one place to another'.

'abruptly' comes from the Latin word 'abruptus', meaning 'broken off', and 'transferred' comes from the Latin 'transferre', meaning 'to carry across'.

Initially, 'abruptly' meant 'broken off', but over time it evolved to mean 'suddenly'. 'Transferred' has largely retained its original meaning of 'moved from one place to another'.
