IMPROMPTU
Impromptu is an adjective which means done or formed without being prepared or organised.
Example 1: When Rani’s friends got word of her good news, they threw an impromptu party to celebrate.
Example 2: He made an impromptu speech about honour and responsibility.

The matching idiom is - On the spur of the moment.
A spur is a spiked attachment worn on a rider's boot that is used to urge a horse into action. In the early 1500s, the phrase - On The Spur - meant in great haste. This expression evolved into today's idiom, ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT, first used around 1800 to mean to do something without forethought or to act impulsively.

Impromptu most often describes things, such as speeches or gatherings, that are not prepared ahead of time but that instead happen spontaneously. An impromptu concert or photoshoot, for example, is conceived and executed in the moment. Impromptu was borrowed - spelling, meaning, and all - from French in the mid-18th century. The French had gotten the word from Latin, from the phrase IN PROMPTU, meaning “in readiness.” But the presence of prompt is no coincidence as both impromptu and prompt are ultimately derived from the Latin word PROMERE, meaning “to bring forth, take out.”

Synonyms for impromptu include UNREHEARSED and SPONTANEOUS.
