覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
sequence（順序・連続）が分かれば、そのまま sequential「順番どおりの」→ sequentially「順番に」と伸ばして覚えやすいです。-ly が付いて「どのように進むか」を表す副詞。simultaneously（一斉に）と対比すると意味が固定しやすく、sequentially process the files, events occur sequentially のように「一つ終えて次へ」の場面でよく使われます。parallel ではなく直列の感覚です。
Build it from `sequence`, meaning order. Then `sequential` means "in order," and `sequentially` means "in order, one after another." It is useful to remember it against `simultaneously`, which means things happen at the same time.

sequentially の類義語・関連語
sequentially の語源・成り立ち Etymology
sequentially は sequential + -ly で、sequence はラテン語 sequi「後について行く」から来ています。だから順番とは、前のものの後を次が追う並び方だとわかります。sequel や consequence も同じ sequ- の仲間です。
Sequentially comes from sequential plus the adverb ending -ly. The base word sequence comes from Latin sequi, meaning "to follow." This gives the idea of one thing following another in order, which led to the modern sense of arrangement by steps or order. Related English words include sequel and consequence.
