what does the word "sequitous" mean?

Answer 1

If you do a web-search you will find that folks nowadays ARE using the form "non sequitous" or "non-sequitus" as an adjective referring to something that is a non sequitur (that is, a conclusion that does not logically follow, or more loosely a meandering conversation, etc.).

But I have yet to see "sequitous" (i.e., a conclusion that DOES follow, I guess), just as we don't refer to a "sequitur".

Answer 2

Sequitous

Answer 3

It is used in an American film, made by Touchstone Pictures (Bad Company) (1995), by entrepreneur Mr Grimes while fly fishing around 32 minutes in: "Which brings us in a rather sequitous fashion to Cross Creek versus, our esteemed client, Curl industries.".

It is the adjective form of the Latin noun sequitor, it is recommended to be limited in use to formal academic or business settings only.

It can be defined as a transition following in logical order on from a causative event action or inaction, be that precipitated by a person, object or a class of subjects.

Sequitous occurences are likely to be in direct result of a causal event thus it can most properly be used in legal, ergo tortious or philosophical reasoning.
