Etymology
Mylar began as a brand name for a strong, thin polyester film made by a chemical company, and today the name is used for that shiny plastic film in blankets, balloons, and covers. A helpful way to remember it is to think of My- like 'my' and -lar sounding like 'layer', so Mylar feels like a 'thin layer' that protects or covers things.
