When you are at the top of the seesaw you can see, it's a good vantige point. When you are on the down side of the seesaw your vantige point is gone, the past tense of that would be saw. That's why they call it a seesaw, because when your up you can see and when your down you saw.

It is derived from a rhyme two people would sing while sawing during the 17th-18th century. The phrase was later used with anything repetitive, including two people going up and down on the ends of a plank.

It is from verb"see" and it's past form "saw". Some kind of swings, I suppose, when you go up - you see, down - saw. That's all))))

Because of the noise it makes when you are playing on it.
