   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}.

            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

            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,

   Sugar \Sug"ar\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Sugared}; p. pr. & vb. n.
      {Sugaring}.]
      1. To impregnate, season, cover, or sprinkle with sugar; to

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sachar
      hire. (1.) One of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:35); called also
      Sharar (2 Sam. 23:33).
     
         (2.) A son of Obed-edom the Gittite, and a temple porter (1
      Chr. 26:4).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sisera
      (Egypt. Ses-Ra, "servant of Ra"). (1.) The captain of Jabin's
      army (Judg. 4:2), which was routed and destroyed by the army of
      Barak on the plain of Esdraelon. After all was lost he fled to
      the settlement of Heber the Kenite in the plain of Zaanaim.
      Jael, Heber's wife, received him into her tent with apparent
      hospitality, and "gave him butter" (i.e., lebben, or curdled
      milk) "in a lordly dish." Having drunk the refreshing beverage,
      he lay down, and soon sank into the sleep of the weary. While he
      lay asleep Jael crept stealthily up to him, and taking in her
      hand one of the tent pegs, with a mallet she drove it with such
      force through his temples that it entered into the ground where
      he lay, and "at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed,
      there he fell down dead." The part of Deborah's song (Judg.
      5:24-27) referring to the death of Sisera (which is a "mere
      patriotic outburst," and "is no proof that purer eyes would have
      failed to see gross sin mingling with Jael's service to Israel")
      is thus rendered by Professor Roberts (Old Testament Revision):
     
         "Extolled above women be Jael,
     
         The wife of Heber the Kenite,
     
         Extolled above women in the tent.
     
         He asked for water, she gave him milk;
     
         She brought him cream in a lordly dish.
     
         She stretched forth her hand to the nail,
     
         Her right hand to the workman's hammer,
     
         And she smote Sisera; she crushed his head,
     
         She crashed through and transfixed his temples.
     
         At her feet he curled himself, he fell, he lay still;
     
         At her feet he curled himself, he fell;
     
         And where he curled himself, there he fell dead."
     
         (2.) The ancestor of some of the Nethinim who returned with
      Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:53; Neh. 7:55).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sychar
      liar or drunkard (see Isa. 28:1, 7), has been from the time of
      the Crusaders usually identified with Sychem or Shechem (John
      4:5). It has now, however, as the result of recent explorations,
      been identified with 'Askar, a small Samaritan town on the
      southern base of Ebal, about a mile to the north of Jacob's
      well.
