Arrangement
Indian file Single file, one after the other. The expression supposedly derives from the American Indian practice of moving stealthily through the woods in this fashion—each walker stepping into the footprints of the preceding, with the final man obliterating the single set of tracks thus leaving no trace of their course. Webster’s Third cites a Newsweek article:
Along this road the inhabitants slowly moved in Indian file.
