Apodosis
‖
A-pod′o-sis
,Noun.
[L., fr. Gr. [GREEK], fr. [GREEK] to give back; [GREEK] from, back again + [GREEK] to give.]
(Gram.)
The consequent clause or conclusion in a conditional sentence, expressing the result, and thus distinguished from the protasis or clause which expresses a condition. Thus, in the sentence, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him,” the former clause is the protasis, and the latter the apodosis.
☞ Some grammarians extend the terms protasis and apodosis to the introductory clause and the concluding clause, even when the sentence is not conditional.
