daisy-chain

Linked series together

A daisy-chain is a series of things linked together in sequence, each connected to the next like flowers strung through their stems.

In computing and electronics, devices daisy-chain when they connect in a line rather than to a central hub: The monitors are daisy-chained to a single port.

The term also describes a sexual arrangement with multiple participants positioned in a ring, each simultaneously giving and receiving stimulation.
