culmination
意味: The highest or climactic point of something, typically reached after a long process of development or effort. The final result or outcome of a sustained endeavour.
Culmination implies that something has been building over time and has now reached its peak or conclusion. It is almost always used with 'of' — 'the culmination of years of research,' 'the culmination of a distinguished career.' Unlike 'climax,' which can suggest drama or excitement, culmination often conveys a sense of achievement or inevitability. It appears frequently in biographical writing, historical accounts, and journalism.
