gluco-

before vowels, gluc-, word-forming element used since c.1880s, a later form of glyco-, from Greek glykys "sweet," figuratively "delightful; dear; simple, silly," from *glku-, dissimilated in Greek from PIE root *dlk-u- "sweet" (source also of Latin dulcis). Now usually with reference to glucose.

gluco- /ˈglu:kəʊ/ combining form. Before a vowel also gluc- /glu:k/.
