Best Answer

The word guillotine originated from the last name of a French physician, Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. He proposed the use of a beheading machine as a more humane method of execution during the French Revolution. The device eventually became associated with his name and the term "guillotine" was adopted to describe it.
