Etymology: "Sequencings" is simply the plural of "sequencing," the noun form of the verb "sequence." Its story is therefore the story of that base word, which entered English from Late Latin "sequentia," meaning a following or succession, itself drawn from "sequi," to follow. The plural form marks each separate instance of the process: a single sequencing is one ordered run of events, and several sequencings are several such runs, each one a distinct arrangement of things that follow one another.

Synonyms: arrangements, orderings, series, progressions
