consequence
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the concrete sense of "heel"—that which comes at the rear—and extends metaphorically to what follows after an action. "Consequence" preserves this idea of something coming at the heel of a prior act while fitting the masculine singular absolute form. |
