Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from English sugar, ultimately from Old French çucre, from Arabic سُكَّر (sukkar), from Middle Persian škl, ultimately from Sanskrit शर्करा (śarkarā). Doublet of শর্করা (śôrkôra).

The spelling modelled on the orthography of the English etymon, with instead of to transliterate s, even though the English pronunciation is /ʃ/.
