jigsaw
Picture in pieces
A jigsaw is a puzzle made of irregularly shaped interlocking pieces that assemble into a picture.
The name comes from the jigsaw—a power tool with a narrow reciprocating blade used to cut curved or intricate shapes, originally used to cut such puzzles from wood.
Figuratively, pieces of a jigsaw are fragments that combine to reveal a larger picture: Investigators assembled the jigsaw of evidence.
