Etymology
From anti- + shock.
adj
- That counteracts or reduces shock, or its effects.
noun
- A shock wave that gains energy when fluid flows through the shock front.“Here the shock is associated with the wavelike property of a system, while the antishock is a consequence of a tendency toward instability.”
- A cushioning system for counteracting shock.“With the M 4 system, superior antishock is available from one end of the adjustment range to the other because higher or lower setttings are achieved through changes in leverage rather than by increasing or decreasing the pre-load.”
