If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer. You don't need to paraphrase the context of your resources, but make sure that your answer is consistent and complete.
Example: How are i.e. and e.g. pronounced?
Example solution: i.e. stands for id est (Latin), which means 'that is'. You use it to link in a deeper explanation about something. Pronounce it 'eye - ee'. e.g. stands for exempli gratia (also Latin), which means 'for example'. You use it to link in an example of a more generic term. Pronounce it 'ee - jee'
Example explanation: Perfect answer because it's consistent with context uses required information from the question to provide the detailed answer with an example.

Problem: I need a single-word to describe something good that (unexpectedly) resulted from something bad. This good thing could not have occurred without the bad event happening first, as a precursor. Example sentence: 'I got in a horrible car accident and broke my leg, but falling in love with my nurse at the hospital was the ____,' (something like that).

Solution: silver lining 'I got in a horrible car accident and broke my leg, but falling in love with my nurse at the hospital was the silver lining' From Wikipedia A silver lining is a metaphor for optimism in the common English-language which means a negative occurrence may have a positive aspect to it. Etymonline says: a 'bright side' which proverbially accompanies even the darkest trouble; by 1843, apparently from oft-quoted lines from Milton's 'Comus,' where the silver lining is the light of the moon shining from behind the cloud. Was I deceived? or did a sable cloud Turn forth her silver lining on the night? I did not err, there does a sable cloud, Turn out her silver lining on the night And casts a gleam over this tufted grove. To which Thomas Warton added the commentary: 'When all succour eems to be lost, Heaven unexpectedly presents the ilver lining o a able cloud to the virtuous.'
