帰結
Readingきけつkiketsu
- Meaning
- 物事が論理的に行き着く先や結末
- Explanation
- 「帰結（きけつ）」 refers to the final outcome at which an argument or matter logically arrives, used as in 「当然の帰結」 (a natural conclusion). c3 「原因を突き止める」 (pinpointing the cause) is the reverse direction; 帰結 always refers to the result side. Even with the same 「結」, it also differs from c1's meaning of physically returning.
- Examples
- 当然の帰結
Original Japanese explanation
「帰結（きけつ）」は議論や物事が論理的に行き着く最終的な結末を指し、「当然の帰結」のように使う。c3の「原因を突き止める」は逆方向で、帰結はあくまで結果側を表す。同じ「結」でもc1の物理的に戻る意味とも異なる。
