Agree with some of the choices posted by others. \n\nHere is my two cents worth and some trivia: \n\nFYI - Floccinaucinihilipilification is the longest word used in a commercial.  An insurance company (Geico?)commercial used this word in a spelling bee scenario.  All the kids are stunned. Even the judge seems baffled trying to use it in a sentence. The insurance company pledge, "No Hard Words".  See a link below for the word history.\n\nBut as mentioned in that link,"..(it was the longest in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary but was supplanted by pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in the second)...\n\nRegarding US Standard Dictionaries, at 45 letters long (45p) it appeared in the Webster's Third New International Dictionary, the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged, and the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.\n\nSee Wiki source for the word origin.

In colonial times, families grew their own flax to make into fabric for clothing. Transforming the flax into thread was a complicated, involved process with many time-consuming steps. After the flax was harvested, it was soaked in water for several days to soften it so the inner fibers could be removed from the stalk. To separate the long, thin fibers from the shorter, coarser ones, the flax was pulled through a bed of nails or combed in a process called "towing." The shorter fibers that were extricated were of a lesser quality and were called "tow." This led to the term "towheads" to describe people, particularly children, whose hair resembled these strands.

I'm sorry, your question has me baffled.  \n\nWhat type of "protective action" are you referring to,and what type of colloids?\n\nColloids are simply mixtures of one phase of a substance within another phase of another substance.\n\nColloids typically have a very high surface area, so can be used to adsorb contaminants.  This would give them a protective action of sorts, but this depends on the colloid and the setting.
