serially

/ˈsɪˌɹiəɫli/ adv

In series, one after the other, as opposed to in parallel.

Word Origin Serially comes from serial, which is from Latin series 'a row, chain.' The root serere meant 'to join together,' so a series is things joined in a line. The -ly makes it an adverb: in a series. The same root gives us assert (to join a statement to a claim), insert (to join into), and desert (to un-join, abandon). So serially means one after another in a connected sequence.

adv In series, one after the other, as opposed to in parallel.
