sequence

sequence: [14] Sequence is at the centre of a large family of English words that go back ultimately to Latin sequī ‘follow’ (others include consecutive [17], consequence [14], ensue, obsequious [15], persecute [15], prosecute, pursue, second, sect, subsequent [15], sue, and suit). Sequence itself comes from late Latin sequentia, a derivative of the present participle sequēns.

Another Latin derivative was sequēla ‘that which follows’, which has given English sequal [15]. Sequī came from the Indo-European base *seq-, which also produced Greek hépomai, Irish sechur, Lithuanian sekti, and Sanskrit sac-, all meaning ‘follow’.
=> consecutive, consequence, ensue, obsequious, persecute, prosecute, pursue, second, sect, sequal, set, sue, suit

In Church use, a partial loan-translation of Greek akolouthia, from akolouthos "following." General sense of "succession," also "a sequence at cards," appeared 1570s.
