Meaning
An accusation in retaliation for an accusation made against oneself; the making of such an accusation.
Sentence
Their failure to find help led to endless and pointless recriminations over the responsibility for the incident.
Commentary
Defending oneself from a verbal attach by means of a counter-attack is almost as natural as physical self-defence. So a disaster often brings recriminations among those connected with it, and divorces and battles over child custody usually involves recriminations between husband and wife.
