Usage Notes
成果 always has a positive connotation, referring to achievements or results that are valued and worth noting. It is different from 结果 (result), which is neutral and can be good or bad. 成果 specifically implies that effort and hard work led to something worthwhile.
Memory Hook
成 means "to accomplish" and 果 means "fruit." So 成果 is "the fruit of accomplishment": the sweet reward you pick after cultivating something with effort.
