Summary

A concussion is an abrupt rattling force. For more than 100 years, that straightforward term has been pressed into service by competing authorities who differ in their conceptualization of the correct medical application of this word for a commonplace physical phenomenon. This chapter will review the intriguing history of that somewhat distracting debate. If an English- speaking medical community wishes to employ the term, it is urged that: (1) its medical meaning comport with its fundamental meaning; (2) its medical meaning fulfill the semantic and taxonomic standards for a natural kind -- a discrete and specifiable phenomenon; and (3) its medical meaning be amenable to operationalization. A tentative, preliminary, logically defensible definition is proposed for consideration.
