eventuates

Comes to pass

Eventuates means to result or come about in the end.

The word is formal and somewhat bureaucratic, often appearing in legal or administrative contexts: Whatever eventuates from the negotiations will be binding.

It suggests an outcome that emerges from a process or set of circumstances: The plan eventuated in disaster.
