The word molasses comes from the Portuguese word melaço, which comes from mel, the Portuguese word for "honey". The quality of molasses depends on the maturity of the sugar cane or beet, the amount of sugar extracted, and the method of extraction.

Molasses, treacle in British English, is a viscous by-product of the refining of sugarcane, grapes, or sugar beets into sugar.

It comes from the Latin word for honey, mel, which from was derived mellaceus ( honey-like) and late-Latin melanceum (new wine) This led to the Portugese, melanco and hence to molasses.
