Question

Can anybody help me with the meaning of this? :

Born out of deadlock

I found this in a dictionary:

Deadlock : standstill; stalemate

The use of "Born out of "gives a totally different meaning to the sentence. To be honest I don't get it.

Thanks for your help.

Born out of wedlock = illegitimate. Do you have a context for "Born out of deadlock"? It could mean something that has been achieved despite apparent stalemate.
