Why this word is great

IRRUPT — [Verb] To break or burst into a place or situation suddenly and forcibly. From Latin irruptus, past participle of irrumpō, from in- ("into") + rumpō ("to break"). Unlike "erupt," which describes a violent outward expulsion, as of lava or anger, or "intrude," which implies an unwelcome but often stealthy entry, to irrupt is the grammar of catastrophic invasion. It is the splintering crash of a door giving way at midnight, the explosive descent of a hawk cleaving a placid flock, or the shocking ingress of a suppressed truth into a quiet room—a sudden, architectural force that redraws the line between inside and out, leaving only sharp-edged aftermath.

verb

To break into.
To enter forcibly or uninvited.“Above all, though, I look back into a modernity where the animation of the object world, the voice of things, or the indistinction of object and subject does not constitute a general (or generalizable, theorizable) condition but irrupts as a discrete event, the aesthetic effects of which range from the uncanny to the sublime.”
To rapidly increase or intensify.
