Morphology
corollary = coroll + ary
Although it contains the Latin-derived suffix '-ary', the stem 'coroll-' is not a productive modern English base and the meaning 'result/consequence' cannot be derived by an average learner from these parts.
Etymology
Corollary comes from the Latin corollarium, which meant 'a small gift' and is linked to corolla 'little crown'. So a corollary is like a small thing that comes naturally from something bigger, which is why it means a natural result or effect.
