consequent
의미: Following as a result or effect of something; logically resulting from a preceding cause or condition.
Consequent is more formal and precise than 'resulting' or 'subsequent,' and it specifically implies a causal link rather than mere temporal sequence. It is important not to confuse it with 'consequential' (meaning important or significant). In logic, the consequent is the second part of a conditional proposition ('if P, then Q' — Q is the consequent). In everyday academic and professional prose, it typically appears as 'consequent upon' or 'the consequent rise/fall/change.' It collocates with 'consequent upon,' 'consequent increase,' 'consequent disruption,' and 'consequent changes.'
