treacle
Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar.〔Oxford Dictionary ISBN 978-1-85152-101-2〕 The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and a darker variety known as black treacle. Black treacle, or molasses, has a distinctively strong, slightly bitter flavour, and a richer colour than golden syrup.〔(merriam-webster.com )〕 Golden syrup treacle is a common sweetener and condiment in British cookery, found in such dishes as treacle tart and treacle sponge pudding.
==Etymology==
Historically, the Middle English term ''treacle'' was used by herbalists and apothecaries to describe a medicine (also called theriac or theriaca), composed of many ingredients, that was used as an antidote treatment for poisons, snakebites, and various other ailments.〔 ''Triacle'' comes from the Old French ''triacle'', in turn from (unattested and reconstructed) Vulgar Latin ''triacula'', which comes from Latin ''theriaca'',〔(theriacus ), Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, ''A Latin Dictionary'', on Perseus〕 the latinisation of the Greek θηριακή (''thēriakē''), the feminine of θηριακός (''thēriakos''), "concerning venomous beasts",〔(θηριακός ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 which comes from θηρίον (''thērion''), "wild animal, beast".〔(θηρίον ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕〔(Treacle ), on Oxford Dictionaries〕
