daisy-chained
Connected in series
Daisy-chained describes things connected in sequence, each linked to the next like flowers woven into a chain.
The term comes from computing, where devices connect in series rather than all plugging into a central hub: The monitors were daisy-chained to a single port.
It extends to any sequential linkage: daisy-chained extension cords, daisy-chained loans.
