Ok, using WordNet I found these (relevant) 'senses' and synonyms:
* product, production in the sense of:
the amount of an artifact that has been created by someone or some process;
"they improve their product every year";
"they export most of their agricultural production"
=> creation:
an artifact that has been brought into existence by someone
* product in the sense of:
a consequence of someone's efforts or of a particular set of circumstances;
"skill is the product of hours of practice";
"his reaction was the product of hunger and fatigue"
=> consequence, effect, outcome, result, event, issue, upshot:
a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon;
"the magnetic effect was greater when the rod was lengthwise";
"his decision had depressing consequences for business";
"he acted very wise after the event"
so now I'm just more confused, but maybe this helps you?

Ok, I see.

Yes. (or a pointer to where a description can be found).

Maybe, but I will finish the listing-stuff first (it's been inactive
for some time now since I've been out of town).
