Etymology
The word 'consequentially' is derived from the root word 'consequential', which originated in the early 19th century. 'Consequential' itself comes from the Latin 'consequentia', a combination of 'con-' meaning 'together' and 'sequi' meaning 'to follow'. This composite indicates things that follow together, i.e., in cause-and-effect relationships. The adverb form 'consequentially' likely emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century as English speakers sought to express the resultant nature of events more succinctly. In modern usage, it reflects a level of formal discourse, often utilized in analytical writing, discussions of logic, and in legal contexts, to emphasize the importance of the effects and results of actions or decisions.
