consect

[Baker, John]

        No, it's a neologism.  I don't immediately see any other
examples of its use at all, although I suspect that a more diligent
search would turn up a handful.

Not in OED.

The tot-mom jurors (who weren't afraid to put two and two together and
get
two) convicted Tot Mom on four counts of lying to investigators.

This morning Chief Judge Belvin Perry, Jr., decided to "consect" the
four-year sentences - make them run consecutively rather than
concurrently.

I assume this is a well-known legal term.
