subsequently
UK: /ˈsʌbsɪkwəntli/ | US: /ˈsʌbsɪkwəntli/
adv. after a particular thing has happened; afterward
adv. in a way that follows logically or naturally
The word "subsequently" derives from Latin subsequi ("to follow closely"), combining sub- (indicating proximity or sequence) and sequi ("to follow"). The suffix -ent forms adjectives, and -ly converts it into an adverb. The term evolved in Middle English to describe events occurring in logical or chronological order, emphasizing continuity.
