resultiert

Resultiert is the third-person singular present tense of the German verb resultieren. The verb means to be the consequence or outcome of something, to ensue, or to derive from a prior cause or data set. In practice, it is used mainly in formal, scientific, and analytic writing to express that a certain conclusion or effect follows from the given information.

Etymology and usage notes: resultieren originates from late Latin resultare and the French résulter, with adoption into German in the modern scientific lexicon. The standard construction is aus + Dativ (or aus + Dativ phrase) followed by resultiert or a related form, for example: Aus den Daten resultiert eine signifikante Abweichung. The verb can also appear transitively in the sense that the results themselves are the outcome of a process, though the more common phrasing in everyday German is sich ergeben or die Ergebnisse ergeben sich/resultieren aus der Studie. In stylistic terms, resultieren is typical for formal prose; in colloquial language, it is often replaced by entstehen, folgen, ableiten, or sich ergeben.

Conjugation and variants: resultieren follows the pattern of regular -ieren verbs. Present: ich resultiere, du resultierst, er/sie/es resultiert, wir resultieren, ihr resultiert, sie resultieren. Präteritum: ich resultierte, du resultiertest, er/sie/es resultierte, wir resultierten, ihr resultiertet, sie resultierten. Partizip II: resultiert. Perfekt: hat resultiert. The form resultiert can also serve as the participle in the perfect tense.
