Apodosis

Source : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Apodosis \A*pod"o*sis\, n. [L., fr. Gr. ?, fr. ? to give back; ?
   from, back again + ? 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.

   Note: Some grammarians extend the terms protasis and apodosis
         to the introductory clause and the concluding clause,
         even when the sentence is not conditional.
