Definition
Happening in a particular order, one after another. It often describes processes or data where the order matters.
Etymology
From Medieval Latin 'sequentialis', based on 'sequi' meaning 'to follow'. It developed in English from 'sequence' with the adjective-forming suffix '-al'.
Kelly Says
Calling something 'sequential' is a way of saying, 'don’t scramble this—order is the whole point'. In computing, 'sequential access' versus 'random access' is literally a battle over whether you must follow the line or can jump around.
