The word 结果 (jiéguǒ, meaning "result") is formed through a vivid conceptual metaphor rooted in natural imagery. It combines the character 结, which means "to knot" or "to form" (as in the forming of a bud or the tying of a knot), with 果, meaning "fruit". The formation visually and conceptually depicts the idea that actions or processes (the forming, the flowering) naturally lead to a tangible, final product (the fruit), thereby encapsulating the notion of an outcome or conclusion through this organic, cause-and-effect picture.
