consecuencia
/konseˈkwenθja/ · B1 · noun · f
consequence
Latin con- (with) + sequi (to follow): what follows along. Like sequel
Consecuencia keeps the same Latin root as English consequence, sequence and sequel: sequi, to follow. A consequence is what follows from an action. In Spanish the -ce- becomes -cia, as in ciencia (science) and paciencia (patience).
