Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin adjective 'subsequent-, subsequens', the present participle of 'subsequi', meaning 'to follow closely after'. This combines 'sub-' (close to, under) with 'sequi' (to follow). Entering Middle English in the 15th century, it has retained its primary temporal meaning of coming after something in time or order.
