abrupt

The Latin term abruptus, derived from the verb I will break (which can be translated as "to break"), arrived in Spanish as abrupt. This Latin term can be translated as "rough" or "rough" and is considered to be the result of the sum of two clearly differentiated components:
-The prefix “ab-”, which can be used to indicate separation.
-The adjective “ruptus”, which is synonymous with “broken” and which, in turn, comes from the verb “rumpere” which means “to break”.

It's about a adjective which, applied to a physical surface, alludes to its inaccessibility, what does one have big slope or what is it steep.

In this way, for example, we find that it is very common in Biology and Geology to speak of abrupt reliefs. This term is intended to refer mainly to emergent forms that exist on Earth and that are considered to have been formed as a result of the pressure of the well-known tectonic plates.

However, it is established that the formation of these reliefs on the earth's surface may have also contributed from landslides to earthquakes through similar situations.

The conceptIn any case, it is usually used in a symbolic way to refer to what is sudden, surly, intemperate, or violent. For example: "The audience was surprised by the abrupt end of the concert", "The company must grow little by little: abrupt development usually creates problems in the long term", "I worked for twenty years at this firm and now I am abruptly fired: I am puzzled".

In general, the abrupt is associated with what generates surprise when materialized very quickly or without prior notice. Suppose the Actions of a company usually range between twenty and the 25 dollars per title. One afternoon, suddenly, its value falls suddenly and the stock closes the day at 8 Dollars. Analysts, faced with this situation, try to explain the abrupt collapse of the price.

If an actor who always showed a robust physique, one night appears on television exhibiting extreme thinness, many may wonder why the abrupt change of weight. The doubt arises from the abrupt modification of the interpreter's bodily appearance.

In addition to all the above, we cannot ignore the fact that there is also often an abrupt silence. This terminology refers to those awkward and unexpected silences that occur in the middle of a conversation between two people. This silence can be due to many causes, such as the lack of a topic to talk about, the existence of a lack of trust between the interlocutors or having previously carried out an exchange of words that have caused the discomfort of one or of the two parts, for example.

The author Emil Cioran, in his work “That Damn Me”, said “an abrupt silence in the middle of a conversation makes us suddenly return to the essential: it reveals the price we must pay for the invention of the word”.

The Latin locution abrupt ex, on the other hand, is usually translated as "suddenly". The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), in this framework, accepts the word outburst as a gesture or one expression that is inconvenient or out of tune: "The president, after hearing the question, gave an outburst".
