Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Percussion instruments यानी drums, जिन पर चोट मारते हैं। Re + percussion — चोट जो वापस लौटकर आए; किसी काम का बाद में आने वाला अनचाहा नतीजा — repercussion।

Percussion instruments are struck, like drums. RE + PERCUSSION is a strike that comes back: you act, and the blow returns later as an unintended result. That is a repercussion.
