If something has a "knock-on effect", it means that it has a "secondary or incidental effect" on future events.
See: http://define.ansme.com/words/k/knock-on_effect.html
I'm not a teacher, so please consider any advice I give in that context.
I've got it! Synonyms: consequence, effect, event, issue, outcome, result, upshot. (It's a British expression.)Originally Posted by Red5
