Serving to shake together or shake up; causing a shaking or jarring effect.
From Latin concutiens, present participle of concutere meaning 'to shake together.' This is a rare medical and technical term that has been largely replaced by more common words like 'concussive.'
This word is almost obsolete in modern English, but it shows how medical terminology evolves—doctors and anatomists once used highly specific Latin-derived terms like concutient, but now prefer simpler, more accessible language.
