result

result: [15] Etymologically, to result is to ‘jump backwards’. The word comes ultimately from Latin resultāre ‘jump backwards’, hence ‘rebound’, a compound verb formed from the prefix re- ‘back’ and saltāre ‘jump’ (source of English insult, sauté, etc). In medieval Latin it came to be used figuratively for ‘happen as a consequence’, the sense in which English borrowed it. It was not used as a noun until the 17th century.
=> assault, insult, sauté

result (v.)

early 15c., "occur as a result, arise as a consequence," from Medieval Latin resultare "to result," in classical Latin "to spring forward, rebound," frequentative of past participle of resilire "to rebound" (see resilience). Related: Resulted; resulting.

result (n.)

1620s, "action of springing back;" 1640s, "outcome, effect," from result (v.). Related: Results. Mathematical sense from 1771.
