Derived from the Latin 'repercussio', meaning 'a rebound' or 'reflection', stemming from the verb 'repercutere' (to strike back). Entering English in the late 16th century, it initially denoted a physical reverberation or recoiling action before evolving metaphorically to describe the indirect, often adverse consequences of an action or event.
