Ha, this is quite possibly one of the most amusing words to say aloud.

Hn. I suppose it roots from saccharin, which is --I believe-- 100 times sweeter than sugar. Am I correct, or does anyone know?

Well, I know 'sacchar' means sugar. I think it's usually part of more technical terms, like saccharide. I think that -in is probably a suffix of some sort but I am not absolutely certain.

Garrulous: given to prosy, rambling, or tedious loquacity : pointlessly or annoyingly talkative.

And yes, Saccar- can mean a sugar chain. I'll find the Lewis Structure Diagram for it later.
