'suddenly-handled' originates from the combination of 'suddenly' and 'handled', where 'suddenly' comes from Middle English 'sodein', meaning 'unexpected', and 'handled' is the past participle of 'handle', from Old English 'handlian', meaning 'to touch or manage'.

'suddenly' evolved from Middle English 'sodein' and 'handled' from Old English 'handlian', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'suddenly-handled'.

Initially, 'suddenly' meant 'unexpectedly', and 'handled' meant 'managed'. Together, they convey the idea of something being managed in an unexpected manner.
