concomitant

Occurring with another

Concomitant describes something that accompanies or occurs alongside something else—a natural companion or consequence: Stress is a concomitant feature of modern life.

The word is somewhat formal, appearing often in academic or medical contexts: the concomitant risks of surgery.

As a noun, a concomitant is something that naturally accompanies another thing: Inflammation is a concomitant of infection.
