Effect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Effect, from Latin effectus "performance, accomplishment" can be used in various meanings:
- Any result of another action or circumstance (see pragma, phenomenon, list of effects);
- Cause and effect are the relata of causality;
- In movies and other media, sound effects are artificially created or enhanced sounds;
- In music, an effects unit is commonly used to manipulate the sound of musical instruments (see also: Effect Pedal).
Please note that although the word "effect" is most commonly found in noun form, it also exists as a verb, and as such is often confused with the word "affect" (itself most commonly a verb, but occasionally found in noun form, especially in the areas of psychology and philosophy).
