History & Origin
Sequacious (1630s) is derived from Latin sequac-, stem of sequax "that follows, a follower," from sequi "to follow," from an imagined Proto Indo European root word *sekw- (the common root of Sanskrit sacate "accompanies, follows," Greek hepesthai "to follow," Lithuanian seku "to follow," Latin secundus "second, the following," Old Irish sechim "I follow").
