Etymology

The word comes from the quadriliteral Semitic root س-ل-س-ل (s-l-s-l), built by doubling the biliteral element س-ل. This root underlies سلسلة (silsila), meaning chain. The Form V verb تسلسل means to be linked in succession, and متسلسل is its active participle, describing something that follows link by link.
