Phrase

[edit]

in order for

  1. To indicate a possible consequence of an event or action.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The words "in order" in this context are usually redundant, and can be removed to leave just "for" as an expression of consequence. This is distinct from "in order to" as that phrase implies a design or purpose.
