sequitur
What logically follows
A sequitur is a conclusion that follows logically from what precedes it.
The word appears almost exclusively in the phrase non sequitur, meaning a conclusion that doesn't follow—so sequitur alone often carries an ironic edge, used when someone's reasoning actually does connect: Well, that's a rare sequitur from you.
