Etymology

The word sucralose comes from the sugar name sucrose, the common 'table sugar', and the chemical ending -ose, which means 'sugar' and appears in words like glucose and fructose. It is a sugar-like substance made from sucrose but changed so it is very sweet without acting like normal sugar, which is why it is used as a sugar substitute.
