Actually, the "ol" is from the last two letters of alcohol, not the first, and I believe comes from the common short hand abbreviation used for alcohol in various scientific and medical disciplines. I've never seen "nital" used, in college or since, though as long as everyone knows what we're talking about, I doubt it matters.
