WD stands for: Water Displacement. 40 represents the 40th iteration
before the mixture was perfected.
Key ingredient in WD-40: fish oil.
I think.

Hi All,
30 years ago driving in Quantico, VA on a very damp and rainy winter
night drove through a large puddle of slush and the engine died. Water
snow and slush had shorted out the distributor and ignition wires. Got
out my trusty can of WD-40, sprayed everything and was back on the road
in minutes.
Anyone know what the WD in WD-40 stands for?
Cheers,
Curt
