sugar candyn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈʃʊɡə ˌkandi/, U.S.

/ˈʃʊɡər ˌkændi/

Forms: late Middle English scugir candy, late Middle English sewgyr candey, late Middle English souger candy, late Middle English sugur candy, late Middle English sugure candi, late Middle English sukyr candy, late Middle English–1500s sugre candy, late Middle English–1600s suger candy, late Middle English–1700s suger candie, 1500s sugre candie, 1500s sugre candye, 1500s sugyre candy, 1500s suuger candye, 1500s–1600s sugar candie, 1500s–1600s sugar candye, 1500s–1600s suger candye, 1500s– sugar candy.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French sucre candi.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman sucre chandi and Middle French sucre candi (1256 in Old French) < Arabic sukkar qandī < sukkar sugar n. + an unattested (but regularly formed) adjective *qandī of or relating to crystallized sugar ( < qand crystallized sugar (see note) + -ī -i suffix²); compare Persian qandī sugared, made of sugar. Compare later candy n.², and also later sugar-candian n., sugar-candied n.Parallels in other languages. Compare Old Occitan sucre candi (14th cent.), Catalan sucre candi (15th cent.), Spanish azúcar candi (1515 as açucar candi ), Portuguese açúcar cande , açúcar-cândi (14th cent.), Italian †zucchero candi (early 14th cent.), and post-classical Latin sucrum candy (from late 14th cent. in British sources; < French), zuccarum candi (1532 or earlier), also saccharum candi (1540 or earlier), and also early modern Dutch suycker candye (1588 in Kiliaan; the usual term in modern Dutch is kandijsuiker ), Middle Low German suckerkandī , suckercandīt , German Zuckerkandis , †Zuckerkandit (both late 16th cent.). In French, candi was apparently apprehended as a past participle early on; compare the Romance parallels cited at sugar-candied n. Ulterior etymology of the Arabic word. The precise route of transmission is unclear: Arabic qand is apparently ultimately < a Dravidian language (compare Tamil kaṇṭu candied sugar, related to kaṭṭu to harden, to condense), which was also borrowed into Sanskrit as khaṇḍava , khaṇḍa candied sugar. The Indian word was probably transmitted via Persian qand ; the initial q in Persian may either show later Arabic influence, or an attempt to approximate the quality of the Dravidian initial. Possible evidence for earlier currency in English. It is unclear whether the following instance of use in a Latin context should be interpreted as showing the Middle English compound or Anglo-Norman sugre candy :1393 in L. T. Smith Exped. Prussia & Holy Land Earl Derby (1894) 219 Pro diversis speciebus..emptis..viz. croco, maces, gariofilis, sugre candy, sugre caffetin.Compare also the following (apparently isolated) example of Middle English sugre candive , with the ending apparently reflecting a French adjectival formation (compare -ive suffix):?c1425 tr. Guy de Chauliac Grande Chirurgie (Paris) (1971) 457 Nabatynes powdre, þe whiche Beneuenutus maketh of sugre candyve [?a1425 N.Y. Acad. Med. zuccare candiue] or of sugre caffatyn..mollifieth..and clenseth wiþoute peyne.

A. n.

1. Crystallized sugar made by boiling and slow evaporation; (also) a piece of this (rare before 19th cent.). brown (or †red) sugar candy: the sugar candy obtained at the first crystallization. white sugar candy: the sugar candy obtained by reboiling this and allowing it to crystallize.
