subsequentes

Subsequentes is an adjective used in Portuguese, with a cognate form in Spanish, to designate elements or events that come after a referenced point in a sequence, order, or narrative. The term derives from Latin subsequens, meaning following after. In modern usage, subsequentes describes items, clauses, events, or terms that occur later in time or position relative to another element.

In formal writing, subsequentes is often employed in law, contracts, finance, science, and literature to specify what follows what is already stated. For example, clauses subsequentes refer to provisions that appear after a given clause; pagamentos subsequentes denote payments that occur after an initial payment; ou observações subsequentes refer to later findings or notes. In literature or media, subsequentes chapters or episodes are those that come after earlier content.

Subsequentes is generally interchangeable with synonyms such as posterior, seguinte, or ulteriores, depending on dialect and context. It is contrasted with anterior or prior to emphasize what comes after rather than what came before.

Etymology traces subsequentes to Latin subsequens, the present participle of subsequi, meaning to follow after. Related terms include subsequência, the noun for a subsequence, and sequência, meaning sequence. Subsequentes therefore operates as a versatile descriptor for subsequent elements across legal, scientific, financial, and narrative domains. If clarity is required, authors may opt for more common equivalents like posterior or seguinte, depending on the audience.
