It suggests result applies in a usual causation , but what shall it used when describing something abruptly happen like the one in my sentence mentioned? So it implies outcome should be used when things are unpredictable, but in my sentence above, isn't the outcome of death inevitable?
So my question is, what's the difference between them the two sentences in comparision above? Any comment and answer regarding the question are appreciated. Please help to clear this confusion, thanks.
To add another answer, not because the others are wrong, but because I think they miss the main nuance for my differentiation of these terms:. Most often, a result is the consequence of one or more causes.
It insists on the causality. This is also the heart of the particulate verb "result in", i. On the other hand, an outcome is the final state of a given situation or setup. There doesn't need to be a direct cause, but various factors and events. In fact, there's a faint hint of denying knowledge of the exact reason it came about. An outcome is "how things turned out" or "what ended up happening". Hence, if we take your example sentence on its own, "result" is preferable.
The man jumps, and the direct consequence is that he dies. But context is everything. If a person jumps from a high enough point, survives the fall with serious injuries, and is taken to the hospital where he receives various kinds of medical attention, then it would be very appropriate to say that the "outcome" was death.
So it depends on what other facts you know about the case and where you want to put the emphasis. Result is preferable if you are describing what you get after following an organized or orderly process. People or things can be said to produce results - but "producing outcomes" sounds weird. Outcome can imply something was happening but no one party was in total control of things.
A result is mostly something that occurs when we want it, or when we are expecting it or when we are making effort to get something while outcome is mostly something that happens unexpected; unforeseen consequence; something that isn't what we aimed for, or something unusual as a result; an effect or result that occurred because of something happened, because of some action, event or situation.
