Etymology : The history of corollary is related to flowers. Indeed, the seed of corollary was planted initially by the Latin noun corolla meaning “small wreath of flowers,” which later bloomed into another Latin noun, corollarium, referring to a garland given as a reward as well as to a gratuity or an unsolicited payment. Just as one pays the bill after eating at a restaurant, you might think of a modern-day corollary as something that naturally follows or accompanies something else in natural course. The formality of corollary is thanks to its formal roots: the word first figured in logical proofs as a term for a proposition that can be inferred immediately from something that’s just been proved—the corollary follows logically as a result of the statement before it.
