consecutiveness
Following without gaps
The quality of following in unbroken sequence, one after another without gaps or interruption.
Consecutiveness emphasizes the uninterrupted nature of a series: The consecutiveness of the losses demoralized the team.
The word is formal and rarely used; most speakers prefer phrases like "in a row" or "back to back."
