disaccharide
A molecule formed by the bonding of two monosaccharides is called a disaccharide. This bond typically occurs through a dehydration reaction, resulting in the formation of a glycosidic bond between the monosaccharides. Examples of disaccharides include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
This compound is a disacharride.

Two Monosaccharides
a water molecule is also formed (a.k.a. H2O)
A common molecule that is always formed when monosaccharides are joined through a condensation reaction is water (H2O). This process results in the formation of a glycosidic bond between the monosaccharides, leading to the release of a water molecule as a byproduct.
