Etymology
The word glycosylate comes from the Greek root glyco- meaning 'sweet' or 'sugar' and the ending -ate meaning 'to make', and the same glyco- appears in glucose, a common sugar. So to glycosylate is to 'make' something have a sugar part — to attach a sugar to another molecule, which is why scientists use the word for adding sugar to proteins or other compounds.
