Morphology
consequently = consequent (transparent) = consequent + ly
Formed by adding the productive adverbial suffix '-ly' to the adjective 'consequent', so the meaning 'as a result' is directly predictable.
Etymology
Consequently comes from the Latin parts con- ('together') and sequi ('to follow'), like the words sequence and consequence. So, consequently means 'as a result' or 'therefore' because it shows what 'follows' from something.
