Incession

Motion on foot. Progress in walking. ''The more incession you achieve, the more exercise you get.''

I know that it comes from the Latin ''incedere''. I don,t think I can tell you more than that.

To incede?

A queen would not walk or advance but incede.

An animal, a stag or a horse for example, at times would incede majestically.

Her incession was elegant, fashionable, graceful.

I confess my impression: the expression "incession" seems excessive.

What if the queen were walking her horse? Would they both incede, or wouldn't her majesty's gait be more important, i.e. wouldn't she ... supercede?

Pardon the insurrection...

Her gait will match the horse's incession and render the whole the more majestic and awesome.
Of course.
You insurrectional subject you
