'suddenly' evolved from the Old French 'soudain', while 'evaluated' developed from the Latin 'valere'. The combination into 'suddenly-evaluated' is a modern English construct.
Initially, 'suddenly' meant 'unexpectedly', and 'evaluated' meant 'assessed'. The combination retains these meanings in modern usage.
