AS RESULT Meaning and
Definition
-
"As a result" is a phrase used to indicate the consequence or outcome of a particular event or action. It typically connects two clauses, where the first clause describes an action or situation, and the second clause explains the consequence or result that occurred due to the first clause.
The phrase emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses, highlighting that the second clause is directly caused by the first. It implies that there is a logical connection between the events or circumstances discussed.
For example, consider the following sentence: "The heavy rainfall caused flooding in the area, and as a result, several houses were damaged." In this case, the first clause describes the heavy rainfall as the cause, and the second clause explains the consequence that occurred due to the rainfall, which is the damage to several houses.
The phrase "as a result" can also be used synonymously with other phrases such as "consequently," "therefore," or "due to this." It is commonly employed in both written and spoken English to establish a cause-and-effect relationship and to provide a clear understanding of the chain of events or circumstances.

Etymology of AS RESULT
The phrase as a result does not have a direct etymology as it is composed of two commonly used words in English.
1. As can be traced back to the Old English word eallswa meaning entirely so, altogether. It has roots in the Proto-Germanic language and ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European base *al- meaning beyond, other, beyond measure.
2. Result comes from the Latin word resultare which means to leap back, rebound, or result. It is a combination of re- (meaning back) and sultare (meaning to jump).
When these two words are combined, as a result means in consequence or therefore.
