Etymology
Jig for a tool probably comes from an older idea of a clever device or from the notion of 'jigging' parts into place, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of a tool that makes pieces line up like a small, controlled dance. So a jig holds and guides a workpiece to make each part exactly the same.
