treeseed commented on the word scotch tape
The precursor to the current 3-M tapes was developed in the 1930s by Richard Drew to seal a then-new transparent material known as cellophane. Although it is a trademarked brand name, it is sometimes used in the US and elsewhere as a generic term for transparent adhesive tape. The Scotch brand includes many different constructions of tape.
