Morphology

consequentially = consequential (transparent) = consequence + ial + ly

The adverb is formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'consequential', yielding the expected adverbial meaning.

Etymology

The word consequentially comes from consequence, from the Latin parts con- ('with') and sequi ('to follow'), and this is like the word sequence, which means things that 'follow' each other. So, consequentially means 'as a result' or in a way that follows from something.
