将“concussion”分解为“con”和“cussion”。联想“con”与“concentrate”(集中)相似,表示集中注意力在头部受伤上;“cussion”可以想象为“撞击”(sound like "suction",稍作变化),意味着头部遭受撞击。结合起来,就是“头部集中撞击”,即“脑震荡”。

concussion
concussion: [15] The etymological notion underlying concussion is of ‘violent shaking’; the modern connotation of a ‘jarring injury to the brain’ did not emerge until the 16th century. The word comes from late Latin concussiō, a noun derived from the past participial stem of concutere ‘shake violently’. This was a compound verb formed from the intensive prefix com- and -cutere, an alteration of quatere ‘shake, strike’ (its variant quassāre was the source of English quash and cashier ‘dismiss’, and probably lies behind cascara [19], etymologically ‘bark broken off the tree’).

The verb concuss is 17th-century. The related percussion [16] comes ultimately from Latin percutere ‘strike through’.

=> cascara, cashier, percussion, quash, rescue
