multi-stage
Done in steps
Multi-stage describes a process or system with distinct sequential phases.
A multi-stage rocket sheds sections as fuel depletes.
Multi-stage interviews involve multiple rounds.
Multi-stage filtration passes water through successive filters.
The term emphasizes that completion requires progressing through separate steps rather than a single continuous action.
