What does RESULT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Something that happens or is produced because of a particular action, process, or set of conditions.
Result names the outcome that follows a cause, whether it is the score of a match, the finding of a scientific experiment, the answer to a sum, or simply what came of a decision someone made. The word is neutral about whether the outcome is good or bad, though in sport and business a good result usually means success without needing to say so directly. Result is also used as a verb, as in the accident resulted from careless driving, which describes the same cause-and-effect link from the other direction. Across science, sport, business, and everyday speech, the word always points back to a cause that produced it.
