Concussional

/kənˈkʌʃənəl/ adjective

Definition

Of, relating to, or caused by a concussion or violent shock.

Etymology

Formed by adding the adjective suffix '-al' to 'concussion.' This creates an adjective to describe things characterized by or resulting from a concussive injury or violent impact.

Kelly Says

Medical terminology often doubles up suffixes—'concussional' feels redundant since 'concussion' is already a noun that can modify other nouns ('concussion injury'), but '-al' adjectives are useful for emphasizing the quality of the condition!
