Root Explanation

Desugared → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "sugar" (from Old French *sucre*, meaning sweet substance). The word describes the process of removing sugar or sweetness from something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'removing sweetness' ('de-' means away and 'sugar' refers to the sweet substance) — that's what desugared means.
