Seriatim is derived from the Latin word 'series' (meaning a row or chain) combined with the suffix '-atim' (meaning in a manner). The term refers to things arranged in a series or sequence, thus indicating a sequential order.
Think of 'series' to remember that 'seriatim' means in a sequential manner, as if items are lined up one after another.
