Etymology
'impulsively-concluded' originates from the combination of 'impulsive' and 'conclude', where 'impulsive' comes from Latin 'impulsivus', meaning 'driven onward', and 'conclude' from Latin 'concludere', meaning 'to shut up, enclose'.
'impulsively' evolved from the Latin 'impulsivus' through Middle English, while 'concluded' evolved from the Latin 'concludere' through Old French 'conclure'.
Initially, 'impulsive' meant 'driven by impulse', and 'conclude' meant 'to bring to an end'. Together, they evolved to mean 'decided quickly without careful thought'.
