eventuate

verb

Etymology: American English, from Latin ēventu(s) (“an event, happening”) + -ate (verb-forming suffix), perhaps modeled after actuate.

1. To have a given result; to turn out (well, badly etc.); to result in.

   “Is that to say we are against Free Trade? No, we are for Free Trade, because by Free Trade all economical laws, with their most astounding contradictions, will act upon a larger scale, upon the territory of the whole earth; and because from the uniting of all these contradictions in a single group, where they will stand face to face, will result the struggle which will itself eventuate in the empancipation of the proletariat.”

   “Enoch Powell appeared to insult the memory of Dr. King by making a speech warning that “colored” immigration to Britain would eventuate in bloodshed.”

2. To happen as a result; to come about.
