sugar-loaf
Molded refined sweetness
A sugar-loaf is a conical mass of refined sugar, the traditional form in which sugar was sold before granulated sugar became standard.
The shape—a tall, rounded cone with a domed top—gave its name to hills and mountains resembling it: Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro.
As an adjective, sugar-loaf describes this distinctive tapering shape: a sugar-loaf hat.
