FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is another word for result?

The word result often refers to what happens (or what has happened) because of something else.

A close synonym for result is outcome.

Like result, outcome often implies that something has ended and reached its conclusion, such as a game or a research project. Another term for this is end result. A somewhat less common synonym is upshot.

In these contexts, the result is what has come out of it—the result of a game is the final score or, more specifically, who won; the result of research is the data that has been gathered from it.

The result of a cause is called an effect. All effects come after an action, but the word aftereffect can be used for delayed effects—those that come later, after the initial effects.

The result of a certain action is called a consequence. The word repercussion often refers to a negative consequence.

The word aftermath is usually reserved for the consequences of a major event—what happens after it.

  1. result

    Effect is the strongest of these words; it is that which is directly produced by the action of an efficient cause; we say, «Every effect must have an adequate cause» (compare CAUSE). In regard to human actions, effect commonly relates to intention; as, the shot took effect, i. e., the effect intended. A consequence is that which follows an act naturally, but less directly than the effect. The motion of the piston is the effect, and the agitation of the water under the paddle-wheels a consequence of the expansion of steam in the cylinder. The result is, literally, the rebound of an act, depending on many elements; the issue is that which flows forth directly; we say the issue of a battle, the result of a campaign. A consequent commonly is that which follows simply in order of time, or by logical inference. The end is the actual outcome without determination of its relation to what has gone before; it is ordinarily viewed as either the necessary, natural, or logical outcome, any effect, consequence, or result being termed an end; as, the end of such a course must be ruin. The event (Latin e, out, and venio, come) is primarily exactly the same in meaning as outcome; but in use it is more nearly equivalent to upshot signifying the sum and substance of all effects, consequences, and results of a course of action. Compare ACCIDENT; CAUSE; CIRCUMSTANCE; END; EVENT.

    Synonyms:
    consequence, consequent, effect, end, end, event, issue, outcome, outgrowth, sequel, upshot
