Spackle

A pause in my day's activities brought me to this oh so momentous question (prepare yourself it is earth shattering): How the heck did spackle get its name?

Is it a verb? Is it a combination of words made up from the ingredients contained within said spackle? Has its name developed over time or was it patented under the given name "spackle"? Just wonderin'.

Uncle Jimbo has always referred to it as smoutch (rhymes with butch!) I have spent the last 36 years wondering about him!
