$\begingroup$I think this is called the reading sequence or something similar.
Your first term is 1.
The next term is just counting how many ones there are in the previous term. So it says "one 1" or "11".
The next term reads that there are "two 1s" or "21".
The next one says "One 2 and one 1" or "1211".
Just bunching up together just complicates things. Can you take this forward to find the term you want?
