abruptionn.

Brit. /əˈbrʌpʃn/, U.S. /əˈbrəpʃ(ə)n/

Etymology: < classical Latin abruptiōn-, abruptiō instance or act of breaking off, break < abrupt- , past participial stem of abrumpere (see abrupt adj.) + -iō -ion suffix1. In later specific use in sense 2 after scientific Latin abruptio placentae abruptio placentae n. Compare Middle French, French abruption (1480 in Middle French in an isolated attestation in sense ‘chasm, (geological) fault’; 1611 in medical use, with reference to a complicated fracture of a bone; the use as a rhetorical term is apparently not paralleled in French until later: 19th cent.).
