Close result (3)
I believe the answer is:
end
This clue is a double definition.
'close' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'result' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "Extremity" , "Final stage" , "SECOND PART OF 10" , "Finished" , "Goal; leftover" .)
