'acetone-based' originates from 'acetone,' which is derived from the Latin word 'acetum,' meaning 'vinegar,' combined with the suffix '-one' indicating a ketone.

'Acetone' was first used in the early 19th century, and the term 'acetone-based' emerged as a descriptor for products containing acetone.

Initially, 'acetone' referred to a specific chemical compound, and 'acetone-based' has consistently referred to products containing this compound.
