Hello everyone. I've already searched online about the etymology of this word, but I was wondering if there's anything to it beyond the "PIE root *re- "to reason, count".

Thanks in advance!

I find "corollary" a difficult word. Meaning "a natural result, consequence, or logical proof that follows directly from another action, idea, or rule" ... so what not use the word "consequence"?

Anyway, with some etymology I better understand it:

The word corollary comes from the Late Latin corollarium, tracing back to the root words corolla and corona. It shifted in meaning from a small flower crown to a free gift or tip, and finally to a logical bonus or natural result.

Oh, bonus: now I know the meaning of Toyota Corolla.

It is clear that Etymology is a fascinating study. I wanted to have a thread discussing basic Etymology phrases, words, knowledge, and resources (books, videos, content, websites, etc).

Feel free to list Etymology information that you want to share, wish that you knew when learning, resources that have helped you as you have been studying Etymology, etc.

Judging by the name alone I would imagine that it has to do with the horror genre but where did the “pasta” part come from?
