Compare with Definitions

Ancillary

Of secondary importance; subordinate
"For Degas, sculpture was never more than ancillary to his painting" (Herbert Read).

Corollary

In mathematics and logic, a corollary ( KORR-ə-lerr-ee, UK: korr-OL-ər-ee) is a theorem of less importance which can be readily deduced from a previous, more notable statement. A corollary could for instance be a proposition which is incidentally proved while proving another proposition, while it could also be used more casually to refer to something which naturally or incidentally accompanies something else (e.g., violence as a corollary of revolutionary social changes).
