Following immediately afterward; occurring as a result or consequence of something. Describes events or conditions that come next in sequence.
From Old French 'ensuir' meaning 'to follow,' from Latin 'insequi' (to follow after). The present participle form 'ensuing' emerged in Middle English to describe consequences that follow naturally from prior events.
Ensuing events are like dominoes falling—they happen because something else happened first, creating a chain reaction! It's different from just 'next' because it implies causation, not just sequence.
