resulting
UK: rɪˈzʌltɪŋ | US: rɪˈzʌltɪŋ
adj. occurring as a consequence or effect
v. (present participle of result) to follow as an outcome
The word result originates from the Latin resultare ("to rebound, spring back"), composed of re- (back) + saltare (to leap). Over time, it evolved in Middle French as résulter, meaning "to arise as a consequence," and entered English in the late 15th century with the sense of "logical outcome." The suffix -ing marks the present participle, turning the verb into an adjective (e.g., "resulting effects"). The morphemes preserve the original spelling while reflecting the word's logical progression from physical rebound to abstract consequence.
