The consequent clause or conclusion in a conditional sentence, expressing the
result, and thus distinguished from the
protasis or clause which expresses a
condition. Thus, in the sentence, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him,” the former clause is the
protasis, and the latter the
apodosis. [
1913 Webster]
" Some grammarians extend the terms protasis and apodosis to the introductory clause and the concluding clause, even when the sentence is not conditional."
[1913 Webster]
