The adjective abrupt to abrupt can be used to describe a geographic location or to refer to a type of behavior. As for its etymology, it comes from the Latin abruptus, which means broken, rough or rough.
Abrupt places
Certain places are difficult to access for some reason; for example, because of its irregular surface, because it is in a cliff or in the middle of the mountain or because there is a difficulty in the terrain that creates discomfort for the normal transit of people. These types of places are steep, that is, rugged, steep or stony. By saying that an area is abrupt, it is usually indicating that there is a certain danger and, therefore, it is not advisable to move through this site. It is also used to indicate that a place is not accessible.
As is logical, the abrupt territories are little inhabited, since their geographical peculiarity makes them inappropriate enclaves for life in society.
Abrupt attitudes
Behaving abruptly means acting in an impetuous, unkind, and rude manner. We are talking about conduct contrary to good manners. At the same time, this qualifier is used in those cases in which someone reacts energetically, implying that they reject or disapprove of something and do so in a forceful and unfriendly way.
The abrupt adjective used to refer to this type of situation can be considered as cultism, as there are other synonymous terms that are more common in everyday communication; such as harsh, rude, rude, vulgar, or rude.
Ex abrupt and outburst
The Latin phrase ex abrupt is used to describe that something has happened unexpectedly, very quickly and unexpectedly. Imagine that a person leaves a work meeting suddenly, before which someone could say that he "left the meeting abruptly."
The term outburst, which comes from the Latin phrase ex abrupt, is used to express an "out of tune", that is, an inopportune and inappropriate comment. Thus, if someone starts insulting a neighbor for no apparent reason and in a vehement way he is saying an outburst.
In conclusion, both terms have a similarity but their meaning has a different nuance.
