Morphology
saccharin = sacchar + in
Formed from the combining form 'sacchar-' (sugar) + the chemical suffix '-in'; the combining form is not a productive or recognizable English base for most learners, so the modern meaning 'artificial sweetener' is not directly inferable.
Etymology
Saccharin comes from the old root sacchar- meaning 'sugar', the same root behind the English word sugar. It was named because it tastes like sugar even though it is an artificial sweetener, so think 'sugar-like' to remember its meaning.
