Dulcose

/ˈdʌlkoʊs/ adjective

Definition

Sweet to the taste; having the quality of sweetness.

Etymology

From Latin 'dulcis' (sweet) + the suffix '-ose' (full of or containing, as in 'verbose'). This adjective directly parallels scientific and technical use in describing sweet substances.

Kelly Says

Dulcose is the adjective form of sweetness—it sounds old-fashioned, but it follows the same '-ose' pattern as words like 'verbose' and 'grandiose,' connecting sweetness to other descriptive qualities!
