Actually, "Duck" tape was a brand with a number of different tapes including one for a quick repair on ductwork. Other brands of duct repair tape existed then and still do. The linguistic and product similarities have resulted in the two terms being confounded.Actually, it started out as "duck tape." That was the brand name for the tape we all know and love. Imitators used "duct tape" for their clones to avoid trademark infringement. Anybody who installs ducts for a living will tell you that it's terrible for sealing ducts. As for sealing ducks, I wouldn't know, and don't want to know.
