breakout
Sudden dramatic escape
A breakout is an escape, especially from confinement: a prison breakout.
The word extends to any sudden emergence from constraint—a disease breakout spreads rapidly, a breakout session at a conference splits from the main group.
In entertainment and sports, a breakout role or breakout season marks someone's transition from obscurity to prominence.
As an adjective, breakout describes unexpected success: a breakout hit, a breakout star.
