Morphology
sucrose = sucro + ose
The suffix '-ose' indicates a sugar (chemical naming), but the root form 'sucro-' is not a productive or obvious English base for most learners, so some specialized knowledge is required to connect it to 'sugar'.
Etymology
Sucrose comes from the root sucr-, which means 'sugar', and the ending -ose, which is used for sugars in chemistry. So sucrose literally means a 'sugar', which is why it names the common plant sugar made of glucose and fructose.
