Morphology
sequent = sequence (semi-transparent) = sequ + ent
Related in form to the common noun 'sequence', but the Latinate adjectival formation (-ent) and orthographic change make the relation only partly obvious to average learners.
Etymology
The word sequent comes from an old Latin word sequi, which means 'to follow', and you can see the same idea in sequence and sequel. So, sequent describes things that come one after another or happen as a result.
