a single thing pluralized, then dressed up to sound like a finale you'll never reach.
means A number of related things, events, or installments arranged or occurring one after another in a connected sequence.
from Straight from Latin 'series,' meaning a row, chain, or sequence of connected things — itself rooted in the verb 'serere,' to join or link together (the same thread that ties up 'sermon,' originally a stringing-together of words). English borrowed it intact in the 1600s, keeping even its Latin spelling, so that the row of joined things still feels chained at the seams.
