Etymology
From ketting (“chain”) + horde (“large sieve; wooden lattice; wattle screen; hurdle”). The word hor also exists, but with a specific meaning of "insect screen". Due to this semantic problem and the fact that the forms kettinghort and kettinghorde are (marginally) attested in the early 20th century as names for a type of sieving implement, hor is probably not the basis for this compound, although it (and/or the verb horren (“to sieve”), as in hormachine) may have influenced the loss of the final -t/-de.
