+124 Gum is meant to be chewed with teeth and not gums, a very misleading title. amirite?

‘Gum' in this case comes from Old French *gome*, meaning dried medicinal resin. Gum used to be sourced from tree latexes, for example chicle, and the name carried over to synthetic mixtures used for the same purpose.
