succesiv

Succesiv is an adjective used in several languages to describe something that occurs one after another, in a sequence or succession. It denotes order, continuity, or progression rather than simultaneity. In many languages it is used as a direct equivalent of the English "successive" or "successively."

Usage and contexts: In mathematics and computer science, a set of elements can be described as succesive when each element follows the previous one, such as successive integers or successive approximations. In statistics and time series analysis, successive observations are the next data points in chronological order. In everyday language, succesive events are events that occur one after the other without gaps.

Etymology and variants: The term is related to the Latin "successivus," via French and other Romance or Germanic languages. The English form "successive" is common, while "succesiv" appears as a variant spelling in some languages and contexts.
