1. 1398, from O.Fr. ensivre "follow close upon," from L.L. insequere, from L. insequi "to pursue," from in- "upon" + sequi "follow" (see sequel).
2. From Old French ensu-, stem of some conjugated forms of ensuivre (“follow close upon, come afterward”) (French ensuivre), from Latin īnsequere, from īnsequi (“to pursue, follow, follow after; come next”), from in- (“upon”) (see in-) + sequi (“follow”) (see sequel).
