覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
in succession は success に引っぱられず、「成功」ではなく「続いて起こる流れ」で覚える。successive(連続した)や one after another と近く、出来事が順番に切れ目なく並ぶ感じ。win three games in succession, failures in succession のように、勝敗・事故・変化などが続く文脈でよく使う。in a row とかなり近いが、やや説明的で書き言葉寄り。単に often ではなく、間を空けず連続していることが核。熟語のまとまりで覚えると定着しやすい。
Do not confuse `succession` with `success`. Think of `successive` and the idea of things coming one after another with no break. It often appears with patterns like `three wins in succession` or `failures in succession`, so connect it with repeated events in a row.
例文

委員会はスケジュールを決めるために連続して会合した。

in succession の語源・成り立ち Etymology
successionはラテン語succedere(sub-=下から+cedere=進む→後に続く)の名詞形successioに由来。「下から次々と続いて進む」が原義で、in successionは「途切れなく連続して」の意。関連語:succeed, successive。
"Succession" comes from Latin "successio," from "succedere," meaning "go after" or "follow after." Its parts are "sub-" and "cedere," though the basic idea is one thing coming after another. So "in succession" developed the sense of happening one after another without a break. Related words include "succeed" and "successive."
