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.
