Frequently Asked Questions
What is another word for result in?
The phrase result in is a very common way to say that an action or event has had a specific result—an effect or consequence.
In many cases, saying that an action or event has resulted in something means the same thing as saying that it has actively caused it.
A somewhat informal term that means the same thing is bring about. Sometimes, bring is used by itself to mean the same thing, as in These changes will bring prosperity.
A similar phrase is give rise to, which sometimes implies less of a direct cause-and-effect relationship (result in can also be used in such situations).
Formal and less commonly used synonyms include engender and beget (which can be used in the same figurative way as the phrase give birth to).
A more common synonym is produce, which is usually used in situations in which something is created in some way.
Is it result to or result in?
Result in is the common idiomatic verb phrase. It’s possible for result and to to appear next to each other in a sentence (as in Send the result to the lab), but it’s not an idiomatic phrase in English. Phrases similar to result in use different prepositions, such as bring about and give rise to.
