säria

Séria is a term found in several languages that denotes a connected order or collection of related items, such as a sequence, a set of publications, or an ongoing media project. It is commonly translated as “series” or “sequence” in English. The word is derived from the Latin series and has cognates in many Romance and Slavic languages. In languages that use diacritics, the form sÉria may appear to indicate stress placement or to distinguish from other forms.

In mathematics and statistics, a series refers to the sum of the terms of a sequence, finite or infinite, and to related concepts such as power series or Fourier series. In time-series analysis and data science, a series describes observations indexed in time and analyzed for trends, seasonality, and other patterns. In literature, media, and publishing, a series is a set of related works released in sequence, such as novels, films, or television episodes.

Séria is also encountered as a proper noun in some regions, where it may be used as a surname or place name. As a loanword, it often appears in titles and descriptions alongside the native term for series or its specific derivative in the target language.
