'aglycosuric' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'glycosuria,' where 'a-' meant 'without,' 'glyco-' referred to 'glucose,' and '-uria' meant 'urine condition.'

'glycosuria' transformed into the modern English word 'aglycosuric' by adding the prefix 'a-' to indicate absence.

Initially, it meant 'absence of glucose in urine,' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
