収束

"収束" (shuusoku) means "convergence" or "coming to an end/settling down."


In this example, 収束 is used to mean 'converging', indicating the act of focusing or narrowing down to a point, often in a physical sense like light rays.

光はレンズによって一点に収束されます。

The light converges at a single point through the lens.


収束 in this context means 'coming to an end' or 'subsiding', used to describe the eventual control or conclusion of a situation, particularly one that is widespread or problematic like a pandemic.

パンデミックは最終的に収束すると信じています。

I believe the pandemic will eventually subside.


Here, 収束 conveys the meaning of 'coming to a conclusion' or 'resolving', emphasizing the successful completion of the project.

彼の努力によってプロジェクトは見事に収束しました。

Thanks to his efforts, the project brilliantly came to a conclusion.
