产物 (chǎn wù) — product, result (outcome of a process)

Definition

产物 (chǎn wù) refers to the product or result of a natural, social, or historical process — it is abstract and not necessarily manufactured. This contrasts with 产品 (chǎn pǐn), which is a concrete commercial product, and 成果 (chéng guǒ), which is a positive achievement from effort. It is also more specific than 结果 (jié guǒ), which can be any outcome, good or bad.
