Etymology

The word 'sugar' originates from the Middle English 'sugre', which was derived from the Old French 'sucre', itself from the Latin 'sucra'. It can be traced back further to the Arabic 'sukkar', and ultimately to the ancient Sanskrit word 'sharkara', which referred to sugar, particularly granulated sugar from sugarcane. The suffix '-ier' in English signifies comparative adjectives, indicating that the term 'sugarier' was developed to specifically compare levels of sweetness. Over the centuries, as sugar became more widely produced and incorporated into diets around the world, the need for comparative terms to describe sweetness arose, leading to the use of 'sugarier' in modern contexts.
