这组词都有“陡峭的,险峻的”的意思,其区别是:
steep指坡度向上逐渐增加的斜陡坡,强调险峻,暗示难于攀登。
sheer指自始至终近于垂直的陡峭,不仅仅很难爬上去,甚至于不可能攀登。
abrupt着重指地形突然起伏,形成尖角状。

"陡峭的,陡峭的,有陡峭的斜坡",用于悬崖、山脉等,中古英语 stēpe,源自古英语 steap "高的,崇高的"(现已过时的意义),还有"深的; 突出的,凸出的",源自原始日耳曼语 *staupa-(也是古弗里斯兰语 stap "高的,崇高的",中古高地德语 *stouf)。
这被认为源自 PIE *steup-,是 *(s)teu-(1)"推动,粘贴,敲击,打击"的扩展形式,派生词指的是突出的物体(源自希腊语 typtein "打击", typos "一击,模具,模具"; 梵语 tup- "伤害", tundate "推动,刺伤"; 哥特语 stautan "推动"; 古诺尔斯语 stuttr "短")。但 Boutkan 对更广泛的分组表示怀疑。
"陡峭的"的意义可能在古英语中存在。在中古英语中,还指强壮的人、大声的声音、明亮的大眼睛和年老。"以高价"的俚语意义是美国的一个新词,可以追溯到1856年。相关词: Steeply。名词意思是"陡峭的地方,斜坡",来自1550年代。
