Etymology
The word progression comes from the Latin parts pro- 'forward' and grad/gress 'step', the same root you see in progress and graduate. Think of a progression as a series of steps that follow a rule—like musical chords that move from one to the next, or numbers in a number pattern. So a progression is a sequence where each step moves forward from the one before it.
