επόμενοςnext, followingEtymology
Συνεπώς is the adverb built from the adjective συνεπής, meaning consistent or coherent. That adjective joins the prefix συν- (together, with) to the verb έπομαι (to follow). The original sense was of something that follows along with something else in an unbroken line, which shifted into the logical sense of a fact that follows from a prior one.
