Morphology
consequent = consequence (transparent) = consequ + ent
Derived from the noun 'consequence' with the adjectival suffix '-ent'; learners who know 'consequence' can generally infer the meaning of 'consequent'.
Etymology
The word consequent comes from Latin parts con- ('with') and sequi ('to follow'), so it has the image of 'coming after'. That's why a consequent event is one that comes after and happens because of something else.
