Word Originlate Middle English (as a medical term meaning ‘repressing of infection’): from Old French, or from Latin repercussio(n-), from repercutere ‘cause to rebound, push back’, from re- ‘back, again’ + percutere ‘to strike’. The early sense ‘driving back, rebounding’ (mid 16th cent.) gave rise later to ‘blow given in return’, which led to the current sense (early 20th cent.). - The collapse of the company will have repercussions for the whole industry.
