Etymology
Formaldehyde is made from formic, a word that meant 'ant' because formic acid was first found in ants, and aldehyde, a chemical name for a strong, sharp-smelling substance. So formaldehyde is a strong, sharp-smelling, poisonous chemical related to formic acid, which helps explain its use as a preservative.
