Yes. Duck tape came first. The original iteration of the product was cotton duck cloth with an adhesive backing.
That's what I figured, but I remember hearing something about some people objecting to this and insisting that "duct tape" came first after all.
Incidentally, "duck" in this case is cognate with, among other things, Norwegian duk meaning "tablecloth" among other things.
I think it's originally from the Dutch doek for canvas in English
Yup
