Root Explanation
Sequenced → It is formed from "sequi" (meaning to follow) and the suffix "-ence" (indicating a state or condition). The word "sequenced" means arranged in a specific order, as in following a particular sequence.
Memory Tip
Think of things that 'follow' one after another — 'sequi' means to follow, and when they are 'sequenced', they are arranged in a specific order.
