Charles,

Thanks for this wonderful lesson in etymology!   I am always learning
surprising new things by studying the parts of words.  

So, is it literally true that Kaopectate -- which I have of course
consumed at times -- literally consists mainly of clay and apple pectin?
 Is that printed on the label?   Seems to me some consumers would shy
away from such a product! 



Thanks again.
