wirresultierten

Wirresultierten is not a standard lexical entry in German. It is typically two words, wir resultierten, meaning “we resulted” in the simple past (Präteritum) of the verb resultieren. In everyday writing the correct form is usually separated by a space; the single concatenated string appears mainly as a typographical error, OCR artifact, or stylistic choice in headlines.

Etymology and meaning: resultieren comes from Middle High German and is related to the noun Resultat (result). The verb signifies that a consequence or outcome follows from a preceding cause or situation. In practice, one speaks of something “resultierte” from something else, or one can say “wir resultierten” when the subject (we) is the one bringing about a consequence in the past.

Usage and examples: The standard two-word construction is common in formal and academic writing. Examples include: “Aus der Studie resultierten mehrere wichtige Erkenntnisse.” and “Wir resultierten in einer Verzögerung des Projekts.” The first sentence means that several important findings emerged from the study; the second means that “we” caused or led to a delay.

Orthography and linguistic notes: In contemporary German orthography, resultieren is a separable verb in finite forms, so the typical past tense uses the two words form wir resultierten. The single token wirresultierten is not recognized as a correct standard form and is generally considered a typographical anomaly. In linguistic discussions, klarer Bezug auf das Subjekt und das Verb ist wichtig, um Missverständnisse zu vermeiden.
