Etymology: "Chainsawed" is the simple past and past participle of "chainsaw," so its history is that of the verb it inflects. The verb is a compound of "chain" and "saw," named for the saw's cutting mechanism: a loop of linked teeth running around a bar, rather than a single toothed blade moving back and forth. The "chain" half describes the cutting element, and the "saw" half gives the basic job, cutting wood with teeth. Put together, the name describes a saw whose teeth are carried on a chain. The word has been used as a verb as well as a noun, so "chainsawed" follows the regular pattern of adding "-ed" to form the past tense.
