Apodosis
In German grammar, the term apodosis is the term used to describe the suffix within a conditional or concessive sentence structure. The antecedent, i.e. the prerequisite in the sentence structure, is called protasis . The apodosis is the consequence of this premise.
In rhetoric , both terms are used to distinguish between the “tension-creating” (protasis) and the “tension-releasing” (apodosis) components of an antithetical thought or sentence.
Example: When it rains, I take an umbrella with me. The apodosis is here I take an umbrella with me , as a consequence of the protasis when it rains .
In Gero of Wilpon is (stylistic or metric) of "Apodosis" as the trailing set in a two-membered period speaking, especially after a set of conditions.
The names Protasis and Apodosis come from the ancient Greek grammarians. The actual meaning of the word protasis is (gr. Πρότασις) "that thrust out" that the word apodosis (gr. Ἀπόδoσις) is "giving the guilty".
