It worked out in the end

Jeremy's idea didn't sound good in the beginning. It worked out in the end, though.

Hi,
Is 'out' in the above optional? What does it mean exactly? Thanks.
  

Top answer

No, not without changing the meaning a bit. The idea did not merely work, the ending situation was successful. Work out = to prove effective or successful.
