How it's used
Originally referring to military outcomes, this term is now frequently used in sports and competitive gaming contexts to describe the final score or outcome. It carries a slightly dramatic or formal nuance compared to the neutral word 結果, often implying that the process leading to the outcome involved some level of struggle or effort.
Examples
Do you know what the result of the match is?
The result of their competition this time is very ideal.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe everyday outcomes like the result of a medical test or a cooking experiment, as it sounds overly intense and out of place in non-competitive situations.
