I hereby submit for consideration into the greater discourse a term to explain an often occurring phenomenon in as condensed a manner as possible.

Have you ever set out to solve a problem, only to uncover an intermediary problem? This happens far too regularly in the world of computers.

“Before you get to him, you’ll have to go through me first.”

It is the opposite of the Domino Effect where a series of events unfolds with ease. Hence, The onimoD Effect.
