Is there a good soul with access to Oxford English Dictionary who could show me this entry? Pretty please!
The entry:
https://www.oed.com/dictionary/surfactant_n?tab=etymology
The reason is I have some doubts about the etymology present on this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant?wprov=sfla1 - why would *surfactant* follow a different pattern than *humectant*? I might be wrong but the Wikipedia entry is sus and may be presenting a marketing ploy as a fact. And that would be less than stellar. 😅
