Morphology

ensuant = ensue (semi-transparent) = ensue + ant

The meaning is predictable from the verb 'ensue' but the Latinate adjectival suffix '-ant' is less familiar/productive to many learners than '-ing', so the relation is somewhat indirect.

Etymology

Ensuant comes from old words that mean 'to follow' and is the same idea as the English verb ensue. So ensuant describes something that happens as a result or right after something else.
