sucrier

sugar bowl, sugar

noun adjective soo-kree-EH Rare

sugar-producing

Usage Note

Sucrier has two uses: as a noun it is the sucrier — the sugar bowl or sugar dispenser on a table — and as an adjective it describes something related to sugar production (industrie sucrière, sugar industry; betterave sucrière, sugar beet). The seed marks it as adjective only, but the noun sense is equally common and useful for learners. The feminine adjectival form is sucrière.

Pass me the sugar bowl, please.
