Syn.
– Effect, Consequence, Result. These words indicate things which
arise out of some antecedent, or follow as a consequent. Effect,
which may be regarded as the generic term, denotes that which springs
directly from something which can properly be termed a cause. A
consequence is more remote, not being strictly caused, nor yet a mere
sequence, but following out of and following indirectly, or in the
train of events, something on which it truly depends. A result is
still more remote and variable, like the rebound of an elastic body
which falls in very different directions. We may foresee the effects
of a measure, may conjecture its consequences, but can rarely
discover its final results.
Resolving all events, with their effects And manifold results, into
the will And arbitration wise of the Supreme. Cowper.
Shun the bitter consequence, for know, The day thou eatest thereof, .
. . thou shalt die. Milton.
