Etymology

The term 'recessionary' is derived from 'recession,' which originates from the Latin word 'recessio,' meaning 'a going back, retreat.' In economic terms, recession refers to a significant decline in economic activity across the economy that lasts for a prolonged period. The word began to be widely used in the financial lexicon in the 20th century, particularly during economic downturns in the United States, as economists sought to describe periods of reduced economic performance. Over time, 'recessionary' has come to specifically qualify conditions, policies, or impacts associated with these downturns.
