ENGLISH TRIVIA :
"Irrupt" is a misspelling of "erupt," right? Wrong! The two have existed as discrete words since at least the mid-1500s. Both are descendants of the Latin verb "rumpere," which means "to break," but "irrupt" was formed by adding the prefix "ir-" (in the sense "into") while "erupt" was formed by adding "e-" (meaning "out"). So "to irrupt" was originally to rush in, and "to erupt" was to rush out. But it's sometimes hard to distinguish the precise direction of a violent rush, and the two soon came to be used as synonyms, a usage that has continued for at least the last 400 years.
