Etymology: "Followups" is simply the plural of "followup," a noun meaning further action taken after an initial step. The noun comes from the phrasal verb "follow up," which means to pursue something after it has begun, and the noun was formed from that verb by dropping the particle into a single compound. The plural adds the regular "-s," so a "followup" is one further action and "followups" are several.

Synonyms: follow-ups, subsequent actions, reviews, check-ins
