Nguồn gốc từ

From saccharum (sugar) + -ine. Saccharum is derived from saccharon (syrupy liquid from bamboo or reeds), from Ancient Greek σάκχαρον, from sakkharā (sugar; gravel; granule, grain; crystal; potsherd), from Sanskrit शर्करा, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱorkeh₂ (boulder; gravel).
