Cavalcade - a podcast by Word of the Day

Cavalcade is a noun that refers to a series.

The Greek word kaballeion (caab ah LAY on) means ‘horse.’ As this word migrated toward English and into our word of the day, it came to refer to ‘a horseback ride.’ It later meant an army of people on horseback and more recently it has been used figuratively to refer to any series or procession of things — usually a dramatic or extreme series. For example: I can’t believe the cavalcade of disasters that came our way during the filming of our movie. It was just one catastrophe after another.
