\sug"ar\ (?), n. [oe. sugre, f. sucre (cf. it. zucchero, sp. az?car), fr. ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. skr. çarkarā sugar, gravel; cf. per. shakar. cf. saccharine, sucrose.]
1. a sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance, of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. it is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food and drink. ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. see the note below.
note: the term sugar includes several commercial grades, as the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the raw brown or muscovado. in a more general sense, it includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper, dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true sugars (as cane sugar). all sugars are carbohydrates. see carbohydrate. the glucoses, or grape sugars, are ketone alcohols of the formula c6h12o6, and they turn the plane of polarization to the right or the left. they are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and carbon dioxide. the only sugar (called acrose) as yet produced artificially belongs to this class. the sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose anhydrides of the formula c12h22o11. they are usually not fermentable as such (cf. sucrose), and they act on polarized light.
2. by extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.
3. compliment or flattery used to disguise or render acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words. [colloq.]

Sugar Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
| Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia |
Sugar
In non-scientific use, the term sugar refers to sucrose (also called "table sugar" or "saccharose") — a white crystalline solid disaccharide. Humans most commonly use sucrose as their sugar of choice for altering the flavor and properties (such as mouthfeel, preservation, and texture) of beverages and food. Commercially produced table sugar comes either from sugar cane or from sugar beet. Manufacturing and preparing food may involve other sugars, including palm sugar and fructose, generally obtained from corn (maize) or fruit.
