Word origin
The word 'sugar' originated from the Sanskrit word 'ลarkarฤ', which means 'ground or candied sugar'. It was later adapted into the Arabic 'sukkar' and the Old French 'suker' before becoming 'sugar' in English. Sugar has been used for centuries as a sweetener and preservative in foods and beverages.
