Word that comes from a Greek word

Explanation:

Glucose is a natural monosaccharide, which has the following molecular formula: C6H12O6

From the chemical point of view, this molecule is a hexose (this is, it has 6 carbon atoms) and an aldose (since it has an aldehyde group)

Glucose as a word has its origin from the Greek word “gleukos”, which means “sweet wine”, and the suffix “ose”, which is used to for a sugar

French people then adapted this word (in order to define a new chemical word, to differentiate the type of sugar found in grapes, slight different from sugar found in other elements such as honey)
