Definition in Japanese
物事を行ったあとに現れた状態や事実。mono goto o okona tta a to ni arawa re ta jō tai ya ji jitsu
Word origin
The Sino-Japanese compound 結果 (kekka) combines 結 (ketsu, "tie") and 果 (ka, "fruit"), expressing an effect formed from what precedes it.
Usage tips
- 結果 (kekka) does not show whether an outcome is favorable or unfavorable, so Japanese adds context or other words to express that judgment.
