In computing, a sequence of characters (letters, numbers, symbols) treated as a single unit or data type.
From character (in the sense of a single letter or symbol, from Greek charaktēr) plus string (from Old Norse strengr, meaning 'cord' or 'line'). A modern technical compound created for computing terminology.
In programming, a 'characterstring' is like a digital clothesline where each letter, number, or symbol is pinned in order—the computer treats the whole line as one unified piece of information, which is why it's called a 'string.'
