We'll break it to you gently: abrupt derives from abruptus, the past participle of the Latin verb abrumpere, meaning "to break off." Abrumpere combines the prefix ab- with rumpere, which means "to break" and which forms the basis for several other words in English that suggest a kind of breaking, such as interrupt, rupture, and bankrupt. Whether being used to describe a style of speaking that seems rudely short (as in "gave an abrupt answer"), something with a severe rise or drop ("abrupt temperature change"), or something that seems rash and unprecipitated ("made the abrupt decision to quit college"), abrupt, which first appeared in English in the 16th century, implies a kind of jarring unexpectedness that catches people off guard.
我们轻声地告诉你：abrupt 源自 abruptus，拉丁动词 abrumpere 的过去分词，意思是“ to break off「中断」”。 Abrumpere 将前缀 ab- 与 rumpere 结合在一起，意思是“to break「打破」”，它构成了英语中其他几个 breaking（含义） 的词的基础，例如interrupt「中断」、rupture「破裂」和 bankrupt「破产」。 无论是被用来描述一种很粗鲁的话（如“gave an abrupt answer「给出一个突然的回答」”）、急剧上升或下降的（“abrupt temperature change「突然的温度变化」”），或一些看起来轻率和unprecipitated（precipitate 是指轻率、鲁莽前面加了个“un”用“不经意”表示）的（“made the abrupt decision to quit college「使突然决定退出大学」”），abrupt 最早出现在 16 世纪的英语中，指着一种让人猝不及防地、突如其来的意外。
