glycoside: This term is considered by some authors a synonym for "heteroside", defined as a "glycoside which, on hydrolysis, yields a noncarbohydrate as well as a glycose." By comparison, a "glycoside" is an acetal derivative of sugar which on hydrolysis (as by the action of enzymes or dilute acids) yields one or more molecules of a sugar and OFTEN a noncarbohydrate. 4, record 1, English, - glycoside

Specifically glycosides are acetals which are derived from a combination of various hydroxy compounds with various sugars. They are designated individually as glucosides, mannosides, galactosides, etc. Glycosides were formerly called "glucosides", but the latter term now refers to any glycoside having glucose as its sugar constituent. 3, record 1, English, - glycoside
