Morphology
consecutive = con + secut + ive
Although the parts reflect Latin morphemes (con- + secut + -ive), the root 'secut' is not a standalone English word and the segmentation is not useful for an average B1 learner to derive the meaning.
Etymology
Consecutive comes from the parts con- meaning 'together' and sequi meaning 'to follow', the same root you see in sequence. So consecutive describes things that 'follow' one after another without a break.
