Where this word comes from

From the verb kontern, from English to counter (originally in the context of boxing). The noun is probably not derived directly from the verb but as a clipping of the noun Konterschlag (“counterstrike, backlash”), from kontern + Schlag. Compare also the prefix konter-, from French contre, which influenced the phonetic form of these words.
