Sprung is what 'spring' becomes when something has already happened — a trap has sprung, a leak has sprung in the pipe, an idea sprung into your head. The feeling is always sudden — something appears, pops, or moves quickly and without warning, the way a spring suddenly releases its energy. In casual spoken slang, especially in American English, 'sprung' can also describe someone who has fallen hard and suddenly for another person — 'he's so sprung on her' means he is completely and obviously in love.
