Definition
一串串 is a reduplicated measure word meaning 'clusters of' or 'strings of' — it describes multiple things that come in connected sequences, like grapes on a vine, skewers of food, or a series of events. The reduplication adds a sense of abundance or continuity, and it's often used with 的 before a noun (一串串的葡萄).
