A person or device that chains things together, or one who performs chaining work.
From English 'chain' + the agent suffix '-er' (meaning one who does something). The term emerged organically whenever chaining became a specialized task.
In machine learning today, 'chaining' is everywhere—chainers are now algorithms that link data processes together, showing how old craft words get reborn in digital contexts.
