A cascade is a chain of consecutive events. The original meaning, a waterfall or a series of waterfalls over rocks, was first incorporated into the english language in the 17th Century from French, where it stems from the Italian word cascata, coming from cascare to fall. Its etymological root is ultimately the Latin word cadere, to fall.

It's also a chain of posts on usenet.

I couldn't find an article about cascade in databases. 158.193.85.212 02:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
