Endergebnis

Endergebnis is a German noun meaning the final result or outcome after all relevant factors have been considered or events completed. It denotes the definitive tally or conclusion reached at the end of a process, experiment, competition, or evaluation.

Endergebnisse are commonly reported in politics (elections, referendums), sports (final scores), science and research (final measurements, data synthesis), business and project management (final budgets, post-project reviews), and negotiations (final terms). In everyday language, it often appears in news reports and official summaries to contrast with preliminary or interim results, such as Zwischenresultate or Teilergebnisse, which are subordinate and subject to change.

The term is used neutrally and descriptively, without judgment about the quality of the outcome. In German, it conveys completeness and finality, indicating that no further changes are expected unless extraordinary circumstances arise.

Etymology: Endergebnis is formed from Ende and Ergebnis. It is widely used across German-speaking regions.

In English, Endergebnis can be translated as final result, final outcome, or end result. In specific contexts such as elections, final result or final tally are common.
