"Overtone" is a thing in audio processing. You're thinking of Zip-a-tone.

No no, Zip-A-Tone is a brand of adhesive-backed screentone sheets for artists. You're thinking of Acetone.

No, Acetone is paint remover. You’re thinking of Italian cake in a box.

No, that's Panettone. You are thinking of a 5 note musical scale.

big in music performance, composition, physical instrument design, etc as well

i would be surprised if there are more than a few musicians above a typical high school level that don't have at least a surface level understanding of overtones

at least in wind/percussion instruments, i have no idea about vocal people as i've never done any of that
