Etymology
The word comes from the quadriliteral root س-ل-س-ل, which carries the idea of a chain. The noun سِلْسِلة means a physical chain or a linked sequence. A مُسَلْسَل is something made into a chain, so a broadcast story told in linked episodes. The television sense grew popular in the twentieth century with serialized radio and TV drama.
