Outcome vs output

Outcome vs output? These two are very often mixed up, but they’re different in meaning. Let’s see some examples of usage:

“It was impossible to predict the outcome of the election.” OALD

“The likely outcome is a compromise.” OALD

Register: Outcome

“Outcome is slightly formal and is used mostly in writing. In everyday English, people are more likely to talk about what happened: It was impossible to predict what would happen in the election.” Source: Longman Dict.

Now some examples of how “output” is used:

“Ford plans to increase its car output next year.” Longman

“Manual workers need a good breakfast for high-energy output.” Collins Dict.
