multistep
Requiring multiple phases
Multistep describes a process requiring more than one stage or action to complete.
A multistep recipe involves several cooking phases.
Multistep authentication demands multiple verification steps.
The term appears frequently in technical, educational, and procedural contexts: The multistep approval process delayed the project.
