seguing

Moving without pause

Seguing is moving smoothly from one thing to another without interruption.

The word comes from music, where a segue is a transition between pieces without pause.

It now applies broadly to any seamless shift: She was seguing from small talk into business matters, The conversation kept seguing into politics.

The spelling reflects Italian origins, though it's fully naturalized in English.
