lesito

Lesito is an Italian noun meaning the result or outcome of a process, action, or event. It is used in formal or technical contexts—such as law, medicine, or administrative reporting—to describe the final state or conclusion reached after inquiry, decision, or intervention. In common parlance, the nearer synonym esito is more frequent, while lesito tends to appear in specialized or official texts.

Etymology and usage notes: The word belongs to the same semantic field as esito (outcome). It occurs in expressions like “lesito della causa” (the outcome of the case) or “lesito diagnostico” (diagnostic result). It can be qualified as “positivo” or “sfavorevole” depending on whether the result is favorable or adverse.

Contexts and examples: In law, “lesito della causa” refers to the judgment outcome. In medicine, “lesito postoperatorio” indicates the postoperative condition or result. In scientific reporting, “lesito di uno studio” denotes the findings or conclusions. The phrase “lesito favorevole” signals a positive result; “lesito negativo” signals an adverse result.
