'inconsequentially' originates from the Latin word 'consequentia,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'sequi' meant 'to follow.'

'consequentia' transformed into the English word 'consequence,' and eventually became the modern English word 'inconsequentially' through the addition of the prefix 'in-' and the suffix '-ly.'

Initially, it meant 'not following logically,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lacking importance or significance.'
