The term is common in technical and design-related language, as well as in mathematical or methodological contexts where a sequential, step-by-step progression is implied.

Etymology and meaning

The word comes from the noun schody (stairs) with the adjectival suffix -owe, which yields terms describing characteristics associated with stairs or stepwise arrangements.
