Is there a word to describe a risk not being neutralized, but the opposite -- the bad possibility takes place. For example, if you risk losing your job, and you actually lose your job, then...
The risk of losing his job _________
materialised
It sounds ugly, I know, but there really aren't any perfect words for this.

was affirmed (closest to "positive" instead of neutral)
when in doubt use a simile

The idea of risk is conceptual - if the hypothetical event actually takes place, it crosses the boundary into reality and becomes material. I don't think the affirmed is enough, since a supposed risk can be substantiated or affirmed through mere statistics rather than the event actually having to take place
>>9034853
In that case these should be okay too
>realized
>actualized

Yes except from emerge. If a risk emerges it becomes evident or comes into existence.
we're all scrambling to find a word that doesn't make any sense. OP has wrongfooted us with his question. you wouldn't say that the risk of losing his job 'neutralized'. it's impossible to come up with an antonym that works in the context because the original word doesn't work in the context.

You have to interpret the world "neutralized" as a negative. The risk was revoked, cancelled, removed, as opposed to confirmed.

The risk of losing his job was neutralized. Sorry still learning English.
When you talk about risk you're talking about the probability of something happening. I think materialised is the best answer here, cause you're saying that a hypothetical situation takes place.
The point here is that it's not a threat or an imminent situation that's bound to happen in the near future with certainty, it's just a probability for the fact to occur, to materialise, to come true, and it could happen or not. You cant 'confirm' a risk
>>9034754
where is that?
>>9034934
>cant 'confirm' a risk
Lots of people disagree with you there. Investors, preachers, gamblers, drug pushers...idiots.
>>9034754
Came into fruition
>>9034754
An actuary wild probably say realized

OP posted a wording matter, I dont know how what you say is relevant.
If you throw a coin enough times, it's bound to come heads/tails eventually, but you dont 'confirm' the risk of tails. When you throw it and you get that result, you just fell into a forseen 50%.
