Answer

SYRUP

This word refers to a thick, sweet liquid typically made by dissolving sugar in water or by reducing plant saps or juices. Maple syrup is perhaps the most famous variety, made by boiling down the sap of maple trees. The word comes from the Medieval Latin siropus, which traces back to the Arabic word sharab meaning beverage or wine.

Strategy Tip

Today's puzzle features a Y acting as the only vowel sound in the word. Remember that Y can function as a vowel, so if you are struggling to find traditional vowels in a puzzle, consider whether Y might be pulling double duty.
