单词 sequence
释义

sequencen.

Brit. /ˈsiːkwəns/, U.S. /ˈsikwəns/, /ˈsiˌkwɛns/
Forms: Also Middle English–1500s sequens.
Etymology: < late Latin sequentia, < sequent-em , present participle of sequī to follow: see sequent adj. and -ence suffix. Compare Old French sequence (13th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), French séquence, Spanish secuencia, Portuguese sequencia, Italian seguenza.Originally introduced (perhaps through Old French) in the ecclesiastical Latin sense ( 7 below). In this use sequentia was a translation of ecclesiastical Greek ἀκολουθία, which denoted a neume or prolonged succession of notes sung on the last syllable of the Alleluia. When the Alleluia was adopted in the Western ritual, this neume was retained, but it became usual to sing it to a separate form of words, to which the name sequentia was transferred. In its primary use the word first appears late in the 16th cent.
I. Succession, following.
1.
a. The fact of following after or succeeding; the following of one thing after another in succession; an instance of this.
