To add to article
[edit]Basic information, which anyone visiting this article might expect to find here, to add to this article (in order to help make it more properly encyclopedic): the origin/etymology of the word "Chloraseptic." Does it come from "chlorine" + "antiseptic"?
It is possible that the "Chlor-" in Chloraseptic refers to Chloraseptic's original phenol-based formula. In organic chemistry, many antiseptic compounds are chlorinated phenols (like chloroseptine or chlorphenols). Even though the active ingredient in the spray is pure phenol (not a chlorinated version), the "Chlor-" prefix was apparently a common marketing convention of the era in which Chloraseptic was introduced to signal a medical-grade, powerful disinfectant or anaesthetic.
