According to Dictionary.com this is not an English word:

This word could mean anything the writer/author/speaker etc. would like it to mean. However the person determines to define and accept it is how it is used/defined. Note: It is not an established English word.

I think you mean corollary - sort of like a secondary conclusion, a proposition not intended to be proven true by or not the actual focus of the argument but which logically follows from or is necessarily true on account of the argument.

corollary means the result which automatically follows from the proof of a theorem
