Synonyms: deshalb, daher, also, demzufolge; Antonyms: trotzdem, dennoch

Derived from 'Folge' (consequence) with the adjectival/adverbial suffix '-lich'. Similar to 'consequent-ly'.

This adverb introduces a consequence. When it starts a clause, it causes inversion: 'folglich' + verb + subject. Think of it as a formal 'so'.
