覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
outcomes は outcome の規則的な複数形で、語末に無声音でない /m/ があるため -s は /z/ と発音します。out＋come を「過程から外へ出てきたもの」と捉え、possible outcomes、learning outcomes、health outcomes のように、複数の結果や成果を比較する場面で覚えましょう。
Outcomes is the regular plural of outcome: add -s, pronounced /z/ after the voiced final sound /m/. Break outcome into out and come, and imagine results “coming out” of a process. This image works well for possible outcomes of a plan, learning outcomes from education, and health outcomes after treatment. The word often focuses on the final measurable result, while consequence can emphasize what follows from an action, especially something unwelcome. Remember the plural when a discussion compares several possible results or results from different tests, groups, or methods.

よく眠ることは学習の成果を高めることがあります。

outcomes の語源・成り立ち Etymology
out（外へ）+ come（来る）の複合語 outcome の複数形。古英語 ūtcuman（外に出てくるもの）が語源。関連語: income, become。物事の過程から「外に出てきたもの」＝結果という発想で、incomeが「入ってくるもの」＝収入と対をなす。
Outcomes is the plural of outcome, a compound of out and come. English has long used the idea of something “coming out” of an action or process to represent its final result. Outcome is connected historically with earlier English verbal and nominal formations based on out and come, although its modern noun use became especially established in later English. The plural is formed regularly by adding -s, pronounced /z/.
