What ensue means
To happen or occur afterward as a consequence or result of something.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *ensuer*, meaning "to follow," derived from Latin *insequi*, composed of *in-* (in, into) and *sequi* (to follow). The sense evolved from "to follow after" to "to happen as a consequence or result." The word entered English in the 14th century and has retained this meaning of something occurring afterward or as a natural result.
