What is daisy-chain?

Probably the same thing. Daisy chaining is when instead of running Left Main & Right Main you run one, let's say Right Main, and then just plug in the other main from the 2nd plug in the Right Main.

If you've ever run to monitors on one channel then you've probably daisy-chained. It's also called piggy-backing.

I'm not sure what you mean here:

"Probably the same thing. Daisy chaining is when instead of running Left Main & Right Main you run one, let's say Right Main, and then just plug in the other main from the 2nd plug in the Right Main."

What would be the purpose of doing this, in relation to side chaining?

And:
"If you've ever run to monitors on one channel then you've probably daisy-chained. It's also called piggy-backing."

Same question.
 
Daisy chaining is usually connecting pieces of gear in series, from the output of one to the input of the next. It is not the same as side-chaining.

So if you have three,

out#1-in#2-out#2-in#3

and so on for however many units you have.
Example:
Say you have a separate mic pre, compressor, eq, and recorder, and you want to record your vocal with all of these. (Not the way you would probably do, it, but just for an example.)

You go out of the mic pre, into the comp, out of the comp, into the eq, out of the eq, into the recorder. These devices are daisy-chained together.
