Lactose makes up around 2–8% of [[milk]] (by mass). The name comes from {{wikt-lang|la|lact}} ([[Genitive case|gen]]. {{wikt-lang|la|lactis}}), the [[Latin]] word for milk, plus the suffix ''[[-ose]]'' used to name sugars. The compound is a white, [[water-soluble]], non-[[Hygroscopy|hygroscopic]] solid with a mildly sweet taste.
