daisy-chaining

Sequential device linking

Daisy-chaining is connecting devices or components in a series, where each links to the next like flowers strung together.

In computing, you might daisy-chain monitors or hard drives through a single port.

The term extends to any sequential linking: They daisy-chained extension cords to reach the backyard.

As a verb: We daisy-chained three generators together.
