解説 Definition

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 result に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、語末は /s/ ではなく /z/ と発音します。test results、survey results、election results のように、複数の数値・判定・成果をまとめて示す場面で使います。The results are good のように動詞も複数形になる点をセットで覚えます。
Start with the singular noun result and add the regular plural ending -s. In results, that ending is pronounced /z/. Imagine receiving several scores or findings together: test results, survey results, and election results are common combinations. Because the noun is plural, it normally takes a plural verb, as in “The results are good” or “The results came out today.” Use result for one outcome and results when a report, test, or competition provides multiple figures, decisions, or findings.
例文
The results are good.
結果は良いです。

私はテストの結果を見ました。
The results came out today.
結果は今日出ました。

results の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 resultare（跳ね返る）から。re-（戻って）+ saltare（跳ぶ）の合成語で、原義は「跳ね返ってくるもの」。関連語：resilient（弾力のある）、exult（歓喜する）。行動の結果が自分に跳ね返ってくるイメージが「結果」の意味になった。
Results is the regular plural of result. Result came through French from Latin resultare, originally meaning “to spring or rebound.” That verb is connected with re-, “back,” and saltare, “to leap.” The physical image of something springing back developed into the abstract idea of an outcome that follows from an action. English adds plural -s when referring to multiple outcomes, scores, or findings.
