Result, upshot (7)
I believe the answer is:
outcome
This clue is a double definition.
'result' is the first definition.
(something's outcome is its result or consequence)
'upshot' is the second definition.
(I know that upshot can be written as outcome)
(Other definitions for outcome that I've seen before include "Denouement" , "Consequence, effect" , "answer" , "Cute moo (anag.)" , "Consequence, upshot" .)
