[edit] Etymology

The etymology is not known. One theory is that it was named after its inventor, but there is no evidence for this. Another theory claims that it is a blending of the French words CONtraceptif DOMicile, which translates as "home contraceptive". Another theory says that it is from Italian guantone, from guanto (glove).
