Definition of sugary

sugaryadjective

có vị ngọt

/ˈʃʊɡəri//ˈʃʊɡəri/

"Sugary" comes from the word "sugar," which has a fascinating history. Its origin can be traced back to the Sanskrit word "sharkara," meaning "gravel" or "grit," referring to the granular texture of sugar crystals. This word traveled through various languages, including Arabic ("sukkar"), Persian ("shakar"), and ultimately entered English in the 14th century as "sucre." From "sucre" we got "sugar," and subsequently "sugary" emerged as an adjective describing something having a sweet taste like sugar.
