A chemical compound containing glucose linked to another molecule; specifically a type of glycoside.
From gluc- (relating to glucose, from Greek glykys 'sweet') + -oside, a suffix used in chemistry for compounds formed by glycosidic bonds.
The '-oside' suffix is chemistry's way of naming sugars bonded to other stuff—it's everywhere in biochemistry, from nucleosides in your DNA to cardiac glycosides in heart medicine, making it one of the most useful naming patterns in science.
