• SynonymファクターNeutralLoanword for a factor; leans academic and business. 「要因」 narrows this down to the main cause behind a result.
• Synonym因子いんしWrittenA scientific term for a factor or divisor, as in 「遺伝因子」; written in flavor. 「要因」 stresses the main cause of something.
• Synonym因いんNeutralA duplicate of the 「元」 entry above: 因 is another writing of the same word, likewise meaning the origin or root of something.
• Synonym素因そいんWrittenWritten style: conditions one has from the start, or in medicine a predisposition to disease. 「要因」 is the broader, more general term.
• Synonym要素ようそNeutralA component or element that goes into making something up. 「要因」 specifically points to the cause that leads to a result.
• Related元もとNeutralPoints to the origin or root of something, as in 「火の元」. 「要因」 is the more written, analytical term for causes.
• Antonym結果けっかNeutralThe opposite of 「要因」 on the cause-and-effect axis: the result or outcome that a cause brings about.

Use 「要因」 for the main cause behind a result, as in 「失敗の要因」. For components say 「要素」, for factors 「ファクター」, for scientific factors 「因子」, for origins or roots 「元」, for underlying or medical predispositions 「素因」; 「結果」 is the antonym.
