Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp. az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be] 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.] {Acorn sugar}. See {Quercite}. {Cane sugar}, sugar made from the sugar cane; sucrose, or an isomeric sugar. See {Sucrose}. {Diabetes}, [or] {Diabetic}, {sugar} (Med. Chem.), a variety of sugar (probably grape sugar or dextrose) excreted in the urine in diabetes mellitus. {Fruit sugar}. See under {Fruit}, and {Fructose}. {Grape sugar}, a sirupy or white crystalline sugar (dextrose or glucose) found as a characteristic ingredient of ripe grapes, and also produced from many other sources. See {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}. {Invert sugar}. See under {Invert}. {Malt sugar}, a variety of sugar isomeric with sucrose, found in malt. See {Maltose}. {Manna sugar}, a substance found in manna, resembling, but distinct from, the sugars. See {Mannite}. {Milk sugar}, a variety of sugar characteristic of fresh milk, and isomeric with sucrose. See {Lactose}. {Muscle sugar}, a sweet white crystalline substance isomeric with, and formerly regarded to, the glucoses. It is found in the tissue of muscle, the heart, liver, etc. Called also {heart sugar}. See {Inosite}. {Pine sugar}. See {Pinite}. {Starch sugar} (Com. Chem.), a variety of dextrose made by the action of heat and acids on starch from corn, potatoes, etc.; -- called also {potato sugar}, {corn sugar}, and, inaccurately, {invert sugar}. See {Dextrose}, and {Glucose}. {Sugar barek}, one who refines sugar. {Sugar beet} (Bot.), a variety of beet ({Beta vulgaris}) with very large white roots, extensively grown, esp. in Europe, for the sugar obtained from them. {Sugar berry} (Bot.), the hackberry. {Sugar bird} (Zo[94]l.), any one of several species of small South American singing birds of the genera {C[d2]reba}, {Dacnis}, and allied genera belonging to the family {C[d2]rebid[91]}.

[Obs.] {Sugar candy}, sugar clarified and concreted or crystallized; candy made from sugar. {Sugar cane} (Bot.), a tall perennial grass ({Saccharum officinarium}), with thick short-jointed stems.

Cf. {Saponaceous}.] A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather, and is used as a cleansing agent. Soap is produced by combining fats or oils with alkalies or alkaline earths, usually by boiling, and consists of salts of sodium, potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic, palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf. {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent or not. Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft. Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they are insoluble and useless. The purifying action of soap depends upon the fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of water into free alkali and an insoluble acid salt. The first of these takes away the fatty dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus tends to remove it. --Roscoe & Schorlemmer. {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled, made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles, [or] Venetian, soap}. {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of different ingredients and color, which are hard and compact. All solid soaps are of this class. {Lead soap}, an insoluble, white, pliable soap made by saponifying an oil (olive oil) with lead oxide; -- used externally in medicine. Called also {lead plaster}, {diachylon}, etc. {Marine soap}. See under {Marine}. {Pills of soap} (Med.), pills containing soap and opium. {Potash soap}, any soap made with potash, esp. the soft soaps, and a hard soap made from potash and castor oil. {Pumice soap}, any hard soap charged with a gritty powder, as silica, alumina, powdered pumice, etc., which assists mechanically in the removal of dirt. {Resin soap}, a yellow soap containing resin, -- used in bleaching. {Silicated soap}, a cheap soap containing water glass (sodium silicate). {Soap bark}. (Bot.) See {Quillaia bark}. {Soap bubble}, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something attractive, but extremely unsubstantial.

It is called also {soap apple}, {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}. {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}. {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps are all hard soaps. {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the lye from wood ashes.
