Shuowen

Sugar. Written with 米 (grain/rice) as the semantic radical, indicating its origin as a sweet substance derived from grain, paired with 堂 (táng) as the phonetic component—the character originally referred to candy or sweet confections made from fermented grain, with the "hall" element suggesting the refined, processed nature of the product, much like something presented in a dignified setting.
