Morphology

resultant = result (semi-transparent) = result + ant

Morphologically formed from 'result' + '-ant', but the specific mathematical meaning (e.g., the resultant vector) is a specialized technical sense requiring domain knowledge.

Etymology

Resultant comes from Latin parts re- 'back' and sult- 'to jump', just like the word result, and it pictures what 'comes out' when things act together. In math and science, that is why a resultant is the single answer or vector you get when several forces or parts are combined.
