Morphology

subsequently = subsequent (transparent) = subsequent + ly

Formed by a straightforward conversion of the adjective 'subsequent' into an adverb with the productive suffix '-ly'.

Etymology

Subsequently comes from old Latin parts sub- and sequi, where sequi means 'to follow'. Think of sequence and consequence, words about order, so subsequently means 'after' or 'later'.
