impactful

/ˈɪmpæktfəl/ adjective

having a strong effect or making a big impression

Word Origin Impact comes from Latin 'impactus,' past participle of 'impingere' 'to drive into, strike against,' from 'in-' 'into' and 'pangere' 'to fasten, fix.' So impactful literally means 'having the quality of driving something in.' The root 'pangere' also gives us pact (something fastened, an agreement), compact (fastened together), and even page (originally a fastened sheet) and propaganda (from propagate, to fasten forward, spread).
