anuvikram

 Anuvikram (अनुविक्रम्) in Sanskrit means “to step after,” “to follow,” or “to walk in the sequence,” derived from the compound of "anu" (after, along) and the root "kram" (to step, stride).

Etymology and Structure

Anuvikram is a compound formed from:

• Anu (अनु): meaning “after,” “following,” or “along”
• Kram (क्रम): meaning “step,” “stride,” or “progression”

The combination thus literally conveys “a stride or step that follows,” 

emphasizing sequence or continuation
