      Usage: {Accordingly}, {Consequently}, indicate a connection
                  between two things, the latter of which is done on
                  account of the former. Accordingly marks the
                  connection as one of simple accordance or congruity,
                  leading naturally to the result which followed; as, he
                  was absent when I called, and I accordingly left my
                  card; our preparations were all finished, and we
                  accordingly set sail. Consequently all finished, and
                  we accordingly set sail. Consequently marks a closer
                  connection, that of logical or causal sequence; as,
                  the papers were not ready, and consequently could not
                  be signed.
