sugar

v. sprinkle with sugar, sweeten with sugar; make something seem more appealing

n. sweet crystalline substance derived from sugar cane and sugar beets (used mainly to flavor foods); any of a number of water-soluble crystalline carbohydrates (Chemistry); darling, sweetheart

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.
