molasses

molasses: [16] The etymological connections of molasses are with ‘honey’ rather than ‘sugar’. It comes via Portuguese mela?o from late Latin mellāceum ‘fermenting grape juice, new wine’. This was a derivative of mel ‘honey’, source of English mellifluous [15] and related to mildew.
=> mellifluous, mildew
