Root Explanation

Consecutively → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "sequi" (meaning to follow). The word describes events that follow one after another in a continuous sequence.

Memory Tip

Think of things happening 'together' ('con-') in a way that they 'follow' ('sequi') one after another — that’s what consecutively means.
