Recrimination is blame after something has gone wrong — you say it was their fault, and often they say it was yours. News stories say a meeting “ended in recriminations” when people leave still accusing each other. The word is formal and a little cold; in the playground you would just say they blamed each other. Though actually, some glosses make it sound like any single complaint, but in real use it often has a back-and-forth feeling: not one calm note, but charges flying both ways. You will often see the plural, recriminations. It is about words and blame, not about the police charging someone with a crime (that sits nearer incriminate).
互相指責；反控
組成From French récrimination. re- (back, in return) + a piece tied to accusation / crime + -ation (the act).
