He calls it "CAGED" because that's the order that they come in as you work your way up the neck. The fact that it spells an English word is a happy coincidence that makes it easier to remember, but it's actually all about how the chord shapes (and the scale shapes built around them) map up the fretboard and to facilitate connecting and moving between the various positions.
