The answer
CHAIN
What chain means
A series of connected links or rings made of metal, or any sequence of related things or events following one after another in order.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *chaeine*, derived from Latin *catena* (a series of linked rings or bonds). The Latin word may trace further back to an uncertain source, possibly related to Proto-Indo-European roots meaning "to hold" or "to bind," though the exact path remains unclear. The word entered English through Norman French after the 1066 conquest and has maintained its core meaning of interconnected links for nearly a thousand years.
