according-to-sequence
| Root | καθεξῆς (kathexēs) |
| Core Meanings | in sequence, successively, one after another, in order, consecutively |
| Semantic Range | successively, in order, one after another, consecutively, afterwards in sequence |
| Conceptual Significance | In narrative contexts (e.g., orderly accounts), it underscores deliberate arrangement and structured presentation, highlighting intentional sequence rather than random occurrence. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable; functions adverbially to describe manner or order of action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines κατά ("according to" or "down along") with ἑξῆς ("next" or "in sequence"), conveying movement or arrangement along a sequence. Rendering it as "according-to-sequence" preserves this compositional sense and reflects its adverbial function (Gr,D), expressing manner without inflection for case, number, or gender. |
