"vertical reciprocating saw," 1873, Amer.Eng., from jig with its notion of "rapid up-and-down motion." Jigsaw puzzle first recorded 1909; originally one with pieces cut by a jigsaw.

The word jigsaw came from a place in Greece called Jigsawlsawer Village in Taminia. They invented the game called Jenga, which leaded to making the type of game called a Jigsaw puzzle created by a man called Septimus Agorius.
