- 1糖漬的、蜜餞的（crystallized ginger 就是糖薑；不是化學課說的「結晶」）
In this food sense, crystallized fruit, ginger, or flowers have been cooked in a lot of sugar so that a dry, sparkly crust of sugar forms on them, like tiny crystals. You eat them as sweets, or chop the fruit into cakes — British Christmas cake is famous for this. Crystallized ginger is a , hot-sweet piece of ginger in a sugar coat; crystallized flowers (violets, rose ) are mostly for . People also say for the same kind of thing. This is a kitchen and shop word, not a science-class word here, and not the other English use where an idea "crystallized" (became clear) or a liquid turned into mineral crystals. The spelling with z is common in dictionaries; you may also see crystallised. Though actually, the sugar on the food really is in little crystals, so the name is not a metaphor — it just is not the chemistry lesson.
組成From crystal + -ize + -ed: made to form crystals. Here the "crystals" are sugar, dried onto fruit, ginger, or flowers. Crystal itself goes back to a Greek word for ice, later the clear mineral.
