noun
Primarily a medical term for the outcome or prognosis of a disease, but can be used more broadly for results or consequences in formal contexts.
この病気の転帰は一般的に良好です。
The outcome of this illness is generally favorable.
治療の転帰を評価する必要がある。
We need to evaluate the outcome of the treatment.
Compound of 転 (turn, change) and 帰 (return, end). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the spelling is conventionally associated with the medical sense of 'outcome'.
