Abrupt

Meaning of Abrupt

Dictionary

The adjective brusque, which could come from the Slavic bresk, the Welsh brysg or the pre-Roman brūsko, refers to that or that surly, rough, rude, rude or violent. For example: “You don’t have to play so rough with your little brother: you can hurt him”, “The young man escaped from his captor with a sudden movement”, “The crash was caused by a sudden maneuver by the truck driver”.

Despite the above, perhaps the theory that is considered most accurate regarding the etymological origin of the term brusque is the one that determines that it is in the name of a plant called brusque, which is wild and is very thorny. Name that can be the result of the crossing of the Gallic “brisgo” and the Latin “ruscus”.

Suppose a soccer player is brusque. This athlete will have a tendency to make excessive use of physical force, even beyond the regulations. The footballer’s attitude can put the integrity of his rivals at risk since, even if he has no bad intention, rough play can cause injuries.

According to DigoPaul, something abrupt can also be classified as abrupt.

We are referring to the single: “Fast, abrupt and violent”, which was released in 2017 and which the aforementioned artist performs together with the duo BNK (the Ebblis brothers and Kelly Valdivia).

Of course it should not be overlooked that also in the field of cinema we find different films that have the word that we are now analyzing in their titles. An example of this is the feature film “Brusco waking up.” It is a production that premiered in 2012, which is part of the action genre and whose director is Mabrouk El Mechri.

Brusco can also be a surname.
