Additionally, other synonyms include outcome, effect, and repercussion, each of which can highlight slightly different nuances. ‘Outcome’ typically refers to the final conclusions or end situation after an event, whereas ‘effect’ emphasizes the impact or change generated by something. ‘Repercussion’ often carries a connotation of a more negative outcome that can continue to resonate over time.
