Consecution

/ˌkɒnsɪˈkjuːʃən/ noun

Definition

A sequence of things following one after another in a logical or chronological order.

Etymology

From Latin 'consecustio,' derived from 'consecutus.' The suffix '-tion' indicates the abstract noun form, making it refer to the act or state of following in sequence.

Kelly Says

In grammar and logic, consecution is the glue that holds arguments together—when each sentence logically follows the previous one, you have proper consecution, which is why great writing feels like one domino perfectly hitting the next.
