Done or said without any preparation or planning; spontaneous.
From French, based on Latin 'in promptu' meaning 'in readiness, at hand'. It originally referred to something done with what was immediately available.
Impromptu literally means ‘from what’s at hand’. It’s not just unplanned—it’s about quickly using whatever you have in the moment, whether that’s words, music, or people.
