Why “sequitur” is a great word
SEQUITUR — [Noun] A logical conclusion or inference that follows necessarily from preceding statements or facts. Learned borrowing from Latin sequitur ("it follows"), third person singular present indicative of sequor ("to follow"), from Proto-Indo-European root *sekw- ("to follow"). Unlike a "non sequitur" (a jarring break in logic) or a "premise" (a foundational proposition from which one proceeds), a sequitur is the valid and earned arrival point of a chain of thought. It is the final domino falling with mathematical precision, the satisfying click of a lock accepting its key, and the quiet moment when scattered clues cohere into a single, undeniable face—the mind's modest pleasure in finding that, for once, the pieces fit.
