The word "series" originates from Latin series (meaning "a row, chain, or succession"), derived from serere ("to join or bind"). The morpheme ser- reflects the idea of connection or sequence, while -ies functions as a noun-forming suffix. Over time, the term evolved to describe any ordered arrangement, retaining its core logic of linked elements.
