Is there an adjective describing two events being effects of the same cause? For example, if A, B and C are events, such that A causes both B and C, I would like to state something along the lines of:

B and C are ADJECTIVE

or

The relation between B and C is ADJECTIVE

    Concomitant may be as close as you can get, conflating its attendant {AHD} and existing or occurring together; associative {Collins} senses.

  • "Of common origin" would be an appropriate phrase for some contexts.

    They are both results, or consequences, of A. There's nothing more you can say, unless the relations are such that they share something else. B and C can be entirely unrelated, beyond both resulting from A.

  • I guess you're looking for more than 'connected', 'related', 'intertwined,or 'interelated'?

B and C are congenetic.

Collins:

congenetic adjective

having a common or similar origin

Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers

Also, B and C are congeneric.

ODO:

congeneric ADJECTIVE

1.1 Of a related nature or origin.
‘the two sets were congeneric’

As far as i can see using the hyphen and the,ed, can help with that so you can say (mutual-caused events) in order to say that both of the events share the same cause. For example blue-eyed girl or broken-hearted kid

  • Do you have any references for mutual-caused events with that meaning? That phrase sounds like it would mean events that cause each other. Also, what does "the,ed," (sic) mean?

Cogenerated, unless that's too specific
