resultierte

Resultierte is the simple past tense form (Präteritum) of the German verb resultieren. The verb means to result, to ensue, or to arise as a consequence. It is used to describe a conclusion or outcome that follows from a preceding fact, event, or process. Resultieren appears most often in formal writing, such as scientific reports, historical analyses, and legal or administrative texts, but it can also appear in narrative prose.

Conjugation and usage notes: in the Präteritum, the forms are ich resultierte, du resultiertest, er resultierte, wir resultierten, ihr resultiertet, sie resultierten. The past participle is resultiert, and the perfect tense is normally formed with hat resultiert. Two common constructions with resultieren are aus X resultierte Y (X gave rise to Y) and X resultierte in Y (X resulted in Y). For example: Aus der Analyse resultierte eine neue Hypothese. Die Maßnahme resultierte in einer signifikanten Verbesserung.

Etymology and register: resultieren is a German borrowing, influenced by the French résulter, meaning to result, with the typical German suffix -ieren. The term is primarily characteristic of written language and technical registers; in everyday spoken German speakers often prefer synonyms such as folgen, sich ergeben, or zu dem Ergebnis führen, depending on nuance.

Related concepts include result and consequence in German discourse. The form resultierte is therefore encountered when recounting past consequences in a formal or historical narrative, or when documenting steps in a methodological sequence.
